Event Title
Panel Discussion: Trump’s War on Dissent — and the Fight to Defy It

Event Description
The right to speak out, organize, and peaceably assemble is under historic pressure. Across the nation, federal mechanisms—from executive directives to political prosecutions—are increasingly being leveraged to suppress dissent, equate advocacy with domestic terrorism, and intimidate communities into silence.
Join the ACLU of Hawaiʻi and national allies for a critical look at this escalating repression, what it takes to defend those under attack, and how we can safeguard local organizing and uphold First Amendment protections.
