DESCRIPTION:FREE SPEECH IN HATEFUL TIMES: NAVIGATING THE FIRST AMENDMENT AFTER 
 CHARLOTTESVILLE\n\nFREE\n\nOur distinguished speakers will be:\n\nChristine 
 Sun, the Associate Director and Legal and Policy Director of the ACLU of 
 Northern California\n\nZahra Billoo, the Executive Director of the San 
 Francisco Bay Area Chapter of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic 
 Relations.\n\nPeter Gelblum, the Chair of the Santa Cruz Chapter of ACLU-NC 
 will be moderating the conversation.\n\nThis past August in 
 Charlottesville, Virginia, white supremacists and neo-Nazis propounded 
 racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic messages, conducted a torch-light 
 march reminiscent of both the Ku Klux Klan and Nazis, and violently 
 attacked counter-protesters, including driving a car into a crowd, killing 
 one young woman and injuring many others. The violence that occurred in 
 Charlottesville has caused civil libertarians around the country to examine 
 their historic, staunch, and absolutist defense of the First Amendment when 
 it comes into conflict with co-equal Constitutional rights, such as Equal 
 Protection, and other vital civil liberties, including racial justice. What 
 should lovers of civil liberties do when the goal of those seeking to 
 exercise their rights to free speech and assembly is to deny others those 
 same rights and/or to harm others? This conversation will explore this 
 complex, thorny issue in depth.\n\nCo-sponsors include RCNV, NAACP Santa 
 Cruz County Branch, People United for Peace of SC County, CodePink Santa 
 Cruz, Veterans for Peace Chapter 11, Jewish Voice for Peace SC, Santa Cruz 
 Food Not Bombs, Santa Cruz County Community Coalition to Overcome Racism, 
 The progressive Christian Forum and Showing Up for Racial Justice, Santa 
 Cruz Sanctuary, Women's International League for Peace & Freedom (WILPF) 
 Santa Cruz, SC for Bernie.\n
