In an era where one tweet can launch (or end) your career, and where free speech is often invoked as a principle but rarely fully understood, learning how to maneuver the fast-changing, fraught landscape of public discourse has never been more urgent. In DARE TO SPEAK, Suzanne Nossel, the CEO of PEN America and a leading voice on free expression, delivers a vital, necessary guide to maintaining a democratic debate that is edifying, tolerant, fair and true. Centered on twenty simple, practical principles, Nossel’s primer equips readers with the tools needed to navigate today’s diverse, digitized and highly divided society without resorting to curbs on free speech. DARE TO SPEAK presents a principled yet nuanced argument that the essential drive to create a more inclusive society need not – and must not – compromise robust protections for free speech. Beautifully packaged, and replete with insightful arguments and salient advice, DARE TO SPEAK brings much-needed clarity and guidance to this pressing—and often misunderstood—debate.
