Democracy, Free Speech and Media | World Cafe
The media is under attack, with assaults on journalists and net neutrality, gaslighting, alternative facts, fake news, surveillance, monopolization, and corruption to name a few. Inspired by today’s sessions on democracy and journalism, this highly interactive session provides an intergenerational space for conversation and action planning. What time is it, and what is called for? How specifically might we take collective and wise action to protect and advance our constitutional rights to free speech and free information?
With Denis Moynihan, Free Speech TV CEO & Democracy Now! Co-Founder, David Shaw, Santa Cruz Permaculture & UCSC Common Ground Center, Amy Lenzo, weDialogue & The World Cafe Community Foundation.
