Teach Peace Moment: How Illegal Gag Orders Are Undermining Our Democracy

The 26-minute video is presented below as Part 1 and Part 2. The repercussions of the FBI's power to demand hundreds of thousands of Americans' private records without any oversight by a court or Congress is explored.

Part 1

Part 2

Two former Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, Lisa Graves and Bruce Fein, share their views on how the expanded, unchecked power threatens Americans' privacy and diverts resources from genuine threats. George Christian of Library Connection gives his unique perspective as an NSL recipient who challenged the letter he received and the accompanying, permanent gag order. Christian and three of his colleagues are the only people, out of thousands of NSL recipients, who can legally talk about that experience.
