Are the tides of free speech turning? Join us at our next Philadelphia Supper Club to find out! We’ll be hosting guest speaker Nico Perrino, Executive Vice President of FIRE (The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression). Nico is the creator and host of FIRE’s So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast. He is also a documentarian, who directed and produced the 2020 film “Mighty Ira” about the life and career of former ACLU Executive Director Ira Glasser. FIRE has stood at the front lines of the battle for free speech for 25 years, consistently pursuing its mission to defend and sustain the individual rights of all Americans to free speech and free thought.
Our venue, the festive Las Bugambilias in Philadelphia’s famous Old City district, offers a buffet of all-you-can-consume Mexican food, margaritas, beer, and wine — all included. Join us for a night of eating and drinking, meet Brownstone Institute friends, scholars, writers, and benefactors, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. Dress is whatever makes you happy — casual is great, fancy is also wonderful.
