Since returning to office, Donald Trump has intensified efforts to crush dissent in the USA: cracking down on protest, targeting the press and threatening academic freedom. His campaign against free expression is sending shockwaves across the USA and beyond.
What does this mean for democracy, independent journalism, and the right to speak out?
Join us on Tuesday 5 August at St John’s Waterloo for the launch of Land of the Free?, the latest magazine issue by Index on Censorship. Come for a reception and panel discussion looking at the impact of the Trump administration on free speech in the USA, and the wider implications for the rest of the world.
Speakers to be announced soon.

We publish the work of censored writers and artists, spotlight global threats to free speech, and foster debate on the value of freedom of expression.
