RSVP: ACLU in Conversation – Defending Freedom Against Authoritarianism

This fall, the Trump administration has only escalated its abuse of power – met too often with silence or capitulation by media, corporations, and political leaders. But our community has proven that we will always show up to fight back.

On October 30, join ACLU and leading voices from civil society, media, and law for an urgent live, online discussion on how to confront authoritarianism, chart a path forward, and harness the power of solidarity and collective action.

Speakers Include:

Moderator: Katie Phang, Independent Journalist and Trial Lawyer
Vanita Gupta, Founder and Director of The Center for Law and Public Trust at NYU School of Law and former Associate Attorney General of the United States
Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU
Jim VandeHei, Co-Founder and CEO of Axios

Please don’t miss this important conversation. Please RSVP today!
