The First Amendment for the Twenty-First Century (The Pittsburgh Foundation)

On June 21 and 22, 2018, The Pittsburgh Foundation, in partnership with The Heinz Endowments, presented a conference, The First Amendment for the 21st Century: Current Threats and Community Responses. The idea for this event, offered to the public at no charge, was grounded in the deep concern about current threats to foundational freedoms that together constitute our democracy. These threats, all of which may be best understood as a reflection of global rather than national trends, are most formidable when the people cease to be vigilant regarding the need to participate in democratic institutions, particularly in times when there are serious economic and social disruptions.
