National Liberty Museum presents Voices and Votes: The State of Free Speech After the Election

In a time when the boundaries of speech and expression are constantly tested by political, technological, and societal changes, it is essential that we build our understanding of these fundamental rights and think about what’s at stake in the years to come. The National Liberty Museum hosts a panel of free speech experts to discuss the most pressing challenges and emerging threats that shape the discourse around free speech in the United States. Reflecting on recent free speech controversies and the course and results of the 2024 presidential election, panelists will consider the future of free speech in our democracy and how we can work together to cultivate a society that values open dialogue and the exchange of diverse perspectives.
The panel features Summer Lopez, Interim Co-CEO and Chief Program Officer of Free Expression at PEN America, Aaron Terr, Director of Public Advocacy at FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression), and Ben Wizner, Director of the Speech, Privacy, and Technology Proj
