ACLU in Conversation: Defending Freedom Against Authoritarianism

*Version with Spanish captions available here:    • ACLU en conversación: Defendiendo la liber...   From intensified attacks on free speech to warrantless immigration raids and the deployment of military troops in cities across the country, the Trump administration is using the immense power of the federal government to try to silence opposition through fear. Yet together, we have proven time and again that we will never stop showing up for each other and for our democracy. In this live virtual discussion, leading voices from civil society, media, and law discuss how we can confront authoritarianism, chart a path forward, and harness the power of collective action. The speakers include Vanita Gupta, Founder and Director of The Center for Law and Public Trust at NYU School of Law; Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU; and Jim VandeHei, Co-Founder and CEO of Axios. The moderator is Katie Phang, an independent journalist and trial lawyer.
