No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, your right to protest is a constitutional guarantee. But there are some limits to this freedom of expression. This week we’re exploring your right to assemble and shout your views publicly.

You’ll hear from Robert Huffman with Rise Up Media; Derigan Silver, a professor in the University of Denver’s media studies department; and Jeff Roberts, who leads the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition.
