IP Democracy: Freedom of Speech Week Announced

With a spate of developments infringing on First Amendment rights, it’s about time the right to free speech got its own week. The National Association of Broadcasters and The Media Institute announced today they are launching the first annual National Freedom of Speech week, October 17 - 23.

Other groups participating in the promotion of free speech during the week include the American Association of Advertising Agencies, American Bar Association, Americans for the Arts, National Constitution Center, and National Endowment for the Humanities. The broadcasters have pulled together PSAs that will run throughout the week and the two groups have tossed out ideas for local events to highlight free speech.
