Actionable Wisdom: How Speaking Out Preserves Democracy — Live recording of Noah Feldman & Preet Bharara

Why the First Amendment is more critical now than ever

In this recording of a livestream, Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman joins Preet Bharara for a conversation about defending our constitutional rights, why it matters to speak out against government overreach, and why the word “unprecedented” fails to tell the full story.

Preet opens the conversation by asking Feldman about his recently-launched Substack, the concept of what he calls “actionable wisdom,” and the importance of academics participating in public discourse.

They then turn to lessons learned from the public response to ICE operations in Minneapolis. Professor Feldman emphasizes the importance of speaking out against government overreach as a powerful tool to preserve democracy. Plus, how do the First and Fourth Amendment protections come into play?

Watch the discussion, and, as always, share your thoughts with us in the comments.
