White Dog Cafe - Table Talks - Patriot Act: Security and Freedom After 911

David Kairys is the James E. Beasley Professor of Law at Temple Law School. He is a nationally recognized civil rights lawyer and edited one of the leading progressive critiques of law and the legal system, The Politics of Law (1998). Contending that the USA Patriot Act “endangers the essence of American democracy,” Councilman Ortiz was instrumental in the passage of City Council’s resolution against the legislation. The program will begin with a brief trailer for the independent film, Indivisible, produced by Resolution Pictures, which documents resistance to the USA Patriot Act through personal stories. Concluding the evening on a high note, one of the film’s producers, Renard Cohen, will present a song which he appropriately wrote to help gain support for the film - ‘Patriot Acts.’
