Producers of No Safe Spaces and Young America’s Foundation team-up to bring Prager, Shapiro, Rubin, and Carolla together for a public online forum on cancel culture and threats to free speech
As 2019’s biggest political documentary at the box office, No Safe Spaces, releases to digital platforms and DVD, the film’s co-stars have announced a historic online free speech event, #CancelCon, which will address today’s increasingly hostile environment where cancel culture and the U.S. Constitution clash.
“People are being shut down or ‘canceled’ at an increasingly alarming rate for simply wanting to speak their mind,” said Dennis Prager. “The Constitution is in jeopardy and our nation stands on the brink.”
Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report will be hosting the event and will be joined by No Safe Spaces co-stars Dennis Prager, Adam Carolla, the Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro, and others who will share an in-depth analysis of the current anti-free speech “cancel culture” phenomenon. “Cancel culture has made America uglier and less interesting. It’s time to cancel it,” adds Ben Shapiro.
Young America’s Foundation (YAF) is co-sponsoring this free event, simulcasting live on YouTube, Facebook, and www.NoSafeSpaces.com at 8:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, September 17—Constitution Day. YAF’s extensive nationwide network of student groups and campus activists will participate in the online program throughout the evening.
“The very thesis of No Safe Spaces—what happens on campus will not stay on campus—is playing out in front of our eyes,” noted Carolla. “It’s time to flex the muscle of resistance and refuse to be bullied.”
“If we lose the right to free speech, we lose everything,” noted Young America’s Foundation President Ron Robinson. “YAF has stood up for and defended the First Amendment on and off campus throughout our 60-year history. We are thrilled to partner with No Safe Spaces to shed more light on this important issue.”
No Safe Spaces earned $1.3m at the box office and was the highest-rated film of 2019 as ranked by the Rotten Tomatoes audience score. Full Story @ Capital Research Center
Newsweek [Video] - CancelCon Takes on 'Greatest Threat to Free Speech in American History'
Some folks who have butted heads with social-media giants like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube over politically incorrect things they have said or written, and who have battled college administrators for their right to say uncomfortable things on a college campus, are banding together for something dubbed CancelCon.
Organizers are billing their digital convention as "The biggest free speech event of the year." Speakers include Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla, all of whom appear in a movie about the so-called "cancel culture" at universities called No Safe Spaces, a co-sponsor of the event.
Many of the participants have been outspoken on the topic of free speech, including some who have testified at congressional hearings. Read More @ Newsweek
Cancel Culture’s Dual Meaning Is a War for America’s Soul
If we don’t stand up to its bullying, soon real injustices, like the killing of George Floyd, will become lost, muddled, and unaddressed.
Cancel culture” is a double entendre of the dangerous kind. It is not just about canceling individuals or entities who offend leftist activists and their myopic group of minions; it is about fundamentally canceling America. Read More
Conservatives: Start putting your money where your mouth is to fight cancel culture
American people must rise up as they always do when they are pushed to the breaking point.
Nike is now in a real predicament, as its Ivy League–trained marketing and branding experts surely know that insulting the Fourth of July will cost the company half of its market. ... the entire American elitist university system is essentially owned and operated by the Marxist centralized planning board. Any faculty members who do not voluntarily comply with these Marxist objectives will be subjected to intense personal and professional pressure until they eventually submit. ......... , most all of the CEOs of major corporations have made it clear they are totally in favor of the far-left agenda because they cannot risk the wrath of leftist activists who can "cancel" them at any time. Conservatives, meanwhile, are simply sitting on the sidelines while Republican leaders hide under their desks and lose perhaps their greatest allies in American business. ...[America] has done more for the world's poor than any other in history and one that has given everyone a chance and a hope for a great future. We must all work very hard right now to ensure that this continues. The fight is on. It is a just war. Read More
