Woodhull Freedom Foundation to Host Online Panel on Free Speech

LOS ANGELES—An online panel hosted by the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, "Checking the Facts: Free Speech Edition," is set to take place Thursday, February 26, as part of the organization’s Fact Checked by Woodhull series.

The livestreamed event brings together experts from adult entertainment, journalism and law to examine the First Amendment’s protection of sexual expression and the growing efforts to restrict it through legislation targeting pornography, sex education and online speech.

Veteran adult star Cherie DeVille will join fellow panelists Taylor Lorenz, Lawrence Walters, Esq., and Allison Grossman, PhD, who is Woodhull’s senior policy analyst, for “a wide-ranging discussion on free expression, sexual freedom and the real-world impact of censorship on marginalized communities,” a spokesperson said.

“I appreciate spaces like this that are focused on facts, not fear,” said DeVille. “Free speech and sexual expression are deeply connected, and conversations like this help people understand what’s actually at stake when those rights are challenged. I’m glad to be part of a panel that’s bringing clarity instead of noise.”

“Checking the Facts: Free Speech Edition” streams live on Thursday, February 26, at 11:30 a.m. PT/2:30 p.m. ET on FacebookLinkedIn and YouTube. Registration is free, with optional donations supporting Woodhull Freedom Foundation’s advocacy work.
