Justice, protest and rock-n-roll are all up for discussion as part of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania Greater Pittsburgh Chapter’s annual series of informal discussions on key civil liberties issues.
This year, there will be three series, each will cover three distinct topics. The discussion groups meet in a variety of community settings. Issue papers and resource materials for each groups’ topic are provided online in advance of each program and local experts facilitate each group conversation and debate. All programs begin at 7:00 pm and are free and open to the public.
See the full schedule below. Click on the title of the discussion for related reading materials and facilitator biographies (if available).
