The first amendment is a cornerstone of American democracy. This week on The Sunday Story, we hear from people who feel their right to free speech might be changing under the Trump Administration. NPR’s Morning Edition co-host Leila Fadel joins Ayesha Rascoe to share what she learned when she talked to teachers and students, pastors and scientists, and others about whether they feel emboldened or silenced in America today.
This episode of The Sunday Story was produced by Justine Yan with help from Taylor Haney and Kyle Gallego-Mackie. It was edited by Liana Simstrom and Arezou Rezvani. Audio engineering by James Willets.
