What:
Despite being powerful tools for bringing individuals who support terrorism to justice, US material support laws sweep too broadly and threaten to undermine constitutionally protected rights. The laws threaten First Amendment rights, and the lack of due process protections allows the government to designate groups as "foreign terrorist organizations" without providing evidence or a chance for the group to respond. Furthermore, many are concerned that US material support laws have disproportionately targeted Muslims and Muslim organizations.
During this panel discussion, experts from Karamah, The Constitution Project, and the Charity & Security Network will speak about the impact of these material support laws. To find out more about this and other lectures click here.
