- **Event Description**: Executive director of the National Coalition Against Censorship Christopher M. Finan launches Freedom of Speech at Greenlight!About this EventBook Launch: Christopher M. Finan presents Freedom of Speech: A People’s History of Democracy’s Most Essential RightExecutive director of the National Coalition Against Censorship—and the former president of the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression—Christopher M. Finan launches Freedom of Speech at Greenlight! From the beginning of American history, free speech has been crucial for the pursuit of justice and expansion of democracy. Yet today, we are seeing growing attempts to roll back free speech protections in America: cultural warriors are banning books from library shelves at a level not seen in decades, and elected officials are attacking free speech principles to undermine other rights and consolidate their own power. With sharp insight and page-turning storytelling, Finan demonstrates that the most effective antidote for the growth of hate speech, misinformation, political violence, and anti-democratic efforts by government officials is support for and cultivation of a free and robust marketplace of ideas. Finan reads from and discusses the book before an audience Q&amp;A and signing.
