Episode Synopsis

Speak! ACLU-PA has sued SEPTA for denying ad space for the Center for Investigative Reporting. And we warned a sitting congressman to stop blocking people who criticize him from his Facebook page and his town hall meetings. Staff Attorney Molly Tack-Hooper joins the pod to talk about the free speech implications of both cases.

Then we again Meet The Staff. Communications Associate Ben Bowens talks with Nyssa Taylor, ACLU-PA's criminal justice policy counsel. Nyssa talks about her work advocating for smart justice and the pervasive problem of mass incarceration in the commonwealth.
