Announcing the 2026
Daniel Singer Prize Winner

The Daniel Singer Foundation is pleased to announce that we are awarding $10,000 to Diane de Vignemont for her essay “Minneapolis Protests Sound a Lot Like the French Resistance,” published by New Lines Magazine this past January.

Vignemont is a Paris-based journalist who writes about politics, history, and women’s rights and was trained as a historian of the French Resistance. Her essay draws on that expertise to explore solidarity networks and mutual aid efforts that emerged in Minneapolis in response to the Trump administration's ICE surge. She shows how this grassroots movement bore a striking resemblance to the organized resistance to Nazi occupation in wartime France.

As part of her award, Vignemont will travel to the Socialism Conference in Chicago, September 4–7, to speak on a panel hosted by the Daniel Singer Foundation (precise date and time to be determined, stay tuned). We invite all who are attending this year's Socialism Conference to join us for what we are sure will be a fruitful and engaging discussion about resistance, solidarity, and the politics of the present moment.
