“There’s a crisis around the freedom of speech now because many people don’t understand it, they weren’t taught what it means and why it matters.” - @suzanne.nossel, CEO of @penamerica Freedom of speech is one of our fundamental rights. With social media, some of us have become more outspoken — and some have felt more hesitant to raise their voice. @nytopinion and @sienacollege found that in the last year, 55% of people held their tongue due to concern about retaliation or harsh criticism. How can we allow people to discuss viewpoints and ask questions without fear of retaliation, while fostering positive discussions? #freedomofspeech #firstamendment #hmhfoundation
