In today’s digital age, the line between personal expression and professional consequences can feel increasingly blurred. For educators and public employees, understanding your free speech rights—and how to protect yourself online—has never been more important.
Join AFT President Randi Weingarten, Lee Rowland of the National Coalition Against Censorship, and Victorya Vilk of PEN America on Thurs., Oct. 9 at 5 p.m. EDT, for a critical conversation about free speech, digital safety and your rights as an educator.
In this free, for-credit webinar, you’ll learn:
- What the First Amendment does (and doesn’t) protect for educators and public employees.
- How to manage your digital footprint and engage online thoughtfully.
- Strategies to safeguard yourself before becoming a target of online abuse.
- What to do if you’re doxed or placed on a watchlist—with support resources from PEN America.
