Upcoming ‘Free Speech Now!’ Debate in New York Features FIRE President Greg Lukianoff

The London-based campaign ‘Free Speech Now!’ has invited FIRE President Greg Lukianoff to be part of the panel for its “Should even hate speech be free speech?” debate, produced in partnership with the National Coalition Against Censorship. The debate will take place next week on Thursday, October 30 at 7:30 p.m. at WNYC’s Jerome L. Greene Performance Space in New York.

Greg will be joining spiked editor Brendan O’Neill, author and FIRE Board of Advisors member Wendy Kaminer, and former ACLU president Nadine Strossen on the panel. The topics of debate will include the emergence of hate speech codes and whether a commitment to freedom of speech means defending hate speech or speech that most people find offensive.

Free Speech Now! is a project of the online current affairs magazine spiked.
