On Tuesday, March 30, the Strauss Center will host Tess Owen, senior reporter at VICE News, who covers extremism, hate crimes and gun control, to talk about her reporting on domestic extremist movements. Specifically, she will explore who participates in these groups, various ideologies and the role of law enforcement, as well as the impact of legislative efforts (debates around the First and Second Amendment, Section 230 reform, content moderation and domestic terrorism designations). She will offer feedback on key events such as Charlottesville and what policymakers may be missing.
