Free speech serves as the cornerstone of a humane and flourishing society. It empowers individuals to express their opinions, challenge prevailing narratives, and hold those in power accountable.
However, this vital right increasingly faces obstacles such as governmental regulations, social media policies, and cultural shifts that favor suppression over open dialogue. These challenges not only stifle individual expression but also hinder societal growth and understanding.
Join the Institute for Humane Studies for an important discussion on free speech threats and opportunities with Nadine Strossen, a leading free speech advocate.
Strossen shares her perspective on facing rising challenges to free speech and discuss strategies for defending this fundamental right.
The conversation was followed by Q&A.
