Does The First Amendment Still Protect Free Speech?

From podcasts to protests, free speech is facing challenges the Founding Fathers probably didn't predict when they made the First Amendment the law of the land. Or did they? We've got a crackerjack panel trying to figure out if the digital world requires more limits on this fundamental American right. Join us in downtown L.A. for our first in-person event of 2022 on Thursday evening, with a food truck beforehand and complimentary drinks to follow.

Moderated by Carla Hall, Editorial Writer, Los Angeles Times.
 
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is supposed to provide the world’s strongest protections of free speech and a free press. But you wouldn’t know that from reading the news. Legal scholars Jody David Armourof USC and Eugene Volokh of UCLA, attorney Jean-Paul Jassy, and Battinto L. Batts Jr., dean of the ASU Cronkite School, visit Zócalo to discuss how we might protect free expression while also protecting our society from the misuse of that freedom.
 
Bring your appetite! We have partnered with On the Go LA to bring the Gusina Saraba food truck right outside the venue—we encourage you to support a local food vendor.
