A space for critical self-reflection on how the U.S. human rights community responded to the challenges that were presented in the days, months, and years after the attacks. What were the major decision points for human rights organizations? Where was advocacy effective and where wasn’t it? What would those groups do differently if they were confronted with the same choices again? Join us in this conversation with leading voices.

Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union
