Discussion about this case\, larger issues of free speech and social media it raises\, and the workings of the US Supreme court to follow. \nPresented in partnership with Vermont Law and Graduate School and Lebanon High School\, this event is free\, open to the public\, and will be recorded by JAM.  Please RSVP below. \nTHE FIRST AMENDMENT AND THE TIKTOK BAN: \nA MOOT COURT EXERCISE \nI. Overview \nIn 2024 Congress passed the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary\nControlled Application Act\,” often popularly referred to as the “TikTok Ban.”\nTikTok is a short-form video hosting service owned by the Chinese internet\ncompany ByteDance. The Act designates the People’s Republic of China as a\n“foreign adversary” nation. The Act requires ByteDance to divest TikTok\, so that\nTikTok is no longer owned and controlled by a Chinese company. If TikTok is not\ndivested\, it will no longer be permitted to operate in the United States.\nTikTok and ByteDance\, joined by several American creators\, persons who\npost creative content on TikTok\, filed a federal lawsuit claiming that the Act\nviolated the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech.\nIn this exercise the audience will hear an oral argument on the\nconstitutionality of the TikTok ban. Audience members will serve as members of\nthe United States Supreme Court. Rod Smolla\, President of Vermont Law and\nGraduate School\, will first play the role of a lawyer representing TikTok\, attacking\nthe TikTok Ban\, and then play the role of a lawyer representing the United States\,\ndefending the TikTok Ban. The audience members playing the roles of Supreme\nCourt Justices will be invited to interrupt and question both lawyer-advocates.\nFollowing the arguments the audience members will be invited to explain why they\nbelieve the Ban should or should not be upheld\, followed by an audience vote on\nthe outcome. \n\n \n  \n \nAbout Rodney A. Smolla\, JD\, President\, Vermont Law and Graduate School: \nPreviously president of Furman University\, and dean at Washington and Lee University and University of Richmond law schools\, Professor Smolla has long been a strong advocate for experiential learning\, the development of professional competencies\, and civic engagement. The author of more than 100 articles published in law reviews and other publications\, he is a nationally known scholar on matters relating to constitutional law\, civil rights\, freedom of speech\, and mass media\, particularly matters relating to libel and privacy.  Learn more. \n  \nABOUT MEDIATED LIVES\nThis event is part of JAM’s “Mediated Lives” series which aims to explore the roll of our current media landscape in shaping American culture\, free speech\, creativity\, community\, and democracy.

Participation will involve an interview of up to 15 minutes\, and can be done over the phone or in person. \nDisclosure: The interviews\, while anonymous\, will be archived and publicly accessible on the JAM website. They may also be transcribed and distributed in print. Some interviews might also be used in a podcast-style audio story\, which would be on the JAM website too. \nABOUT VOICES OF THE VOTERS: THE UPPER VALLEY AND A HISTORIC ELECTION\nOral histories emphasize the importance of everyday experience\, serving as a record of feeling. This project aims to compile a “living” oral history of the Upper Valley in advance of the 2024 presidential election. In times such as these\, the lived reality of one’s citizenship and politics acts upon voters (and nonvoters alike) in profound ways. While there’s substantial reporting on partisan interests\, “Voices of the Voters” believes that the more personal side of the election has gone underexplored – and that how people are thinking about\, feeling about and framing current politics to themselves plays an important role in this moment in history. The project is less interested in who you’re voting for than how you feel about the country today\, and how you feel about the country’s future. Stepping aside from pigeon-holed\, issues-driven categorizing in more standard voter coverage\, this is an opportunity for a community “vibe check.”  \nThis work is made possible in part through grants from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and Vermont Humanities. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout FRANCES MIZE\, freelance journalist \nFrances Mize is currently a freelance journalist and a 2024 Higher Education Fellow with the Institute for Citizens and Scholars. She is working on a series about apprenticeships and the trades in Vermont\, forthcoming in VTDigger. She was a 2022-2024 Report for America corps member with the Valley News\, where she covered rural and environmental issues\, municipal politics\, the growing socioeconomic gap\, and college campuses. She graduated from Dartmouth College in 2022. \n\n  \n\nABOUT MEDIATED LIVES\n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of JAM’s “Mediated Lives” series which aims to explore the roll of our current media landscape in shaping American culture\, free speech\, and democracy. \n  URL:https://uvjam.org/event/voices-of-the-voters-listening-party-community-dinner/ LOCATION:JAM – Junction Arts & Media\, 5 S Main St\, White River Junction\, VT\, 05001\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uvjam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Voices-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241122T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241122T180000 DTSTAMP:20260501T120449 CREATED:20241108T180755Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241113T002005Z UID:10001047-1732294800-1732298400@uvjam.org SUMMARY:JAM Clubs Fall Showcase DESCRIPTION:JAM’s Digital Media Creation for Seniors\, High School Media Fellowship Program\, and after school Film and Animation Clubs will screen short films and present media arts projects they have been working on throughout the Fall.
