The Fate of Civil Liberties in National Crises
Channel: New America
Date: 20/03/2020

We can’t meet up together in person these days, but we at Future Tense believe that connecting with each other to consider how technology and science can disrupt and enhance our lives is more vital than ever. Plus, we miss you all. That’s why we’re launching a biweekly series of what we’re calling Social Distancing Socials. You can join these interactive conversations via Zoom, from the comfort of your home with your favorite beverage in hand.

Join us Thursday, March 19 for less than an hour at 4:00 pm EDT to discuss how our civil liberties are affected by times of crisis:
