In this episode of Activist-in-Progress with ACLU attorney Emerson Sykes, we dive into how our first amendment rights are being affected by the novel COVID-19 pandemic. From university campus hate speech to protests that have continued and adapted during this pandemic, the civil rights lawyer shares his perspective on how to go about protecting our first amendment rights. Recording this episode left us feeling inspired by our right to free speech and protest, so if you've ever felt bogged down by the establishment—this one's for you!
