About

Held as White House lawyers pressed the U.S. Supreme Court to approve the second Muslim Travel Ban, We Won’t Back Down presented a week of public talks with an array of thought leaders who were directly impacted by the policy. Together they examined the historical, political, cultural context of the ban, as well as what it meant for America going forward. Presented at seven cultural spaces in seven neighborhoods over seven consecutive days.
