Join the USC Center for the Political Future and Urban Rural Action on Wednesday, October 15 at 5:00 pm for an interactive workshop on constructive conversation and a discussion on whether hate speech should be protected under the First Amendment. This event will be held at the University of Southern California in Taper Hall (THH) Room 214. Free dinner will be provided.
Is hate speech protected under the First Amendment? Or should it have limits? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the boundaries of free expression, the impact of harmful speech on communities, and the legal and ethical challenges of balancing liberty with protection. This event will bring together experts in law, policy, and civil rights to explore one of today’s most pressing questions: Is hate speech free speech? Join us for an evening of connection and conversation that builds understanding across differences.
This workshop is brought to you by Urban Rural Action, a national grassroots movement that brings Americans together across differences to address our country's most urgent challenges. Joe Bubman, Executive Director of Urban Rural Action, and Christy Vines, Founding Executive Director at the Fuller Center for Peacebuilding & Conflict Transformation, will lead the workshop.
