Students will explore the value of rights to free speech during “First Amendment Free Food Festival” at CCC. The event on April 21 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. is sponsored by CCC’s student newspaper, The Clackamas Print. During the event students will ask students to "sign away" their First Amendment rights in exchange for pizza, donuts and other free food. Students acting as “protesters," "journalists" and "religious leaders" at the event will be asked by "patrolling officers" to stop practicing their right to free speech, free press and freedom of religion. The First Amendment Free Food Festival will be held in the Community Center at at CCC’s Oregon City or outdoors if weather permits. This event is open to the public.
