The First Amendment Coalition and San Jose Spotlight present:
The First Amendment Under Fire: What the Protests of 2020 Can Teach Us About Free Expression, Public Safety and Policing
What has San Jose — its people, elected leaders and civic institutions — learned from a season of protest? How does a community balance First Amendment rights with public safety? Join us for a dynamic discussion between policymakers, activists and legal experts. We’ll dive deep into the movement for racial justice, recent legislative proposals to increase police accountability and the clashes between law enforcement and those engaged in activity protected by the First Amendment.
