Dismantling Antisemitism: Dare to Speak with author Suzanne Nossel

Dismantling Antisemitism – A Series of Education, Advocacy and Action
Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speach for All
In Dare To Speak, Suzanne Nossel, a leading voice in support of free expression, delivers a vital, necessary guide to maintaining democratic debate that is open, free-wheeling and at the same time respectful of the rich diversity of backgrounds and opinions in a changing country. Centered on practical principles, Nossel’s primer equips readers with the tools needed to speak one’s mind in today’s diverse, digitized, and highly-divided society without resorting to curbs on free expression. In Dare to Speak, Nossel advises readers to: use language conscientiously without self-censoring ideas; defend the right to express unpopular views; and protest without silencing speech. This is a discussion about free speech, not a position.
