Join the NYCLU's Suffolk County Chapter at our annual meeting to discuss the controversial and ever-changing history of free speech rights in the United States.
Start: Mar 3 2012 5:00 pm
The NYCLU recently scored a victory for free speech. In 2009, we sued the City of Troy for shutting down a local art and media center on purported code violations after a cvontroversial art exhibit opened there.
In a settlement approved on Feb. 22, the city agreed to pay our client, Media Alliance, $5,000 and help it apply for a federal grant for the arts, pledging to match any grant up to $50,000.
