Protecting Free Speech Under Trump

​On March 8, the Trump administration and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) illegally arrested and detained Mahmoud Khalil in direct retaliation for his advocacy for Palestinian rights at Columbia University. And they’ve made clear that they plan to continue punishing speech they don’t agree with. 

​From fighting for Mahmoud - alongside partners Dratel & Lewis, the Center for Constitutional Rights, CLEAR, and NYCLU - to blocking attempts to censor arts and science, the ACLU is fighting back against the administration’s flagrant abuse of executive power. Join the ACLU on Tuesday, March 25th for an emergency briefing about their work to protect free speech in the face of executive overreach. Hear directly from their lawyers and experts about the fight to protect free speech - and how creators play a pivotal role in this fight.
