First Five Now: Understanding the First Amendment in Perilous Times

Following an unprecedented week in the history of the nation, the Freedom Forum presents a special program examining how the interpretation of the First Amendment became a nationwide debate.

Freedom Forum First Amendment experts David Hudson, Lata Nott and Gene Policinski recount the week’s news — from the violent incursion at the U.S. Capitol to the banning of President Trump and others from various social media platforms — and discuss the connection between these events and the role of the First Amendment.

First Five Now is a Freedom Forum conversation that explores topical issues and features current newsmakers who are using the five freedoms of the First Amendment to guide their work.
