PROTECTING OUR FREE-SPEECH RIGHTS

Kansas City, 1/24/25 - A townhall event to support defend free speech will be held at Simpson House, 4509 Walnut, KC MO, 6-8 pm (Central time), on Saturday, Jan. 25.

The event is a response to the recent pronouncements of the Trump Administration concerning the media, censorship, and free speech. It is both in-person and nationally available on a Zoom link from PeaceWorks at pwkc.org/dfs1.

The Saturday program features speakers which include: Professor Gerald Home, pre-eminent historian and host of

Freedom Now! on KPFK FM; Elisa Mejia of Insurgencia Femenina; and the chair of the African People’s Socialist

Party/Uhuru, Omali Yeshitela.

Cosponsors of this national and local gathering include Friends of Community Media, PeaceWorks KC, Pacifica Fightback, and the African People’s Socialist Party/Uhuru. A lead organizer of the gathering, Spencer Graves, is president of Friends of Community Media & secretary of PeaceWorks KC.
