**Facebook Strategist on Free Speech, Social Media**

Since the advent of social media, millions have used the internet to raise their voices. But in an increasingly polarized landscape, some users across the political spectrum feel that their speech is under threat from others.

As bipartisan interest in government regulation of social media companies grows, it raises the question: Are Americans as committed to free speech in our politics and culture as we are in our laws? And what might a wise policy future look like?

**Artfields Returns To Lake City This April**

The Lake City ArtFields Collective is an arts organization that includes fine art galleries, educational programming, and an annual competition and exhibition awarding more than $145,000 in cash prizes to Southeastern artists. April 23-May 1, 2021!

The Lake City ArtFields Collective is a community arts non profit located in Lake City, South Carolina. We were founded in 2013 with a mission to celebrate Southern art and revitalize our small town through the arts. Our flagship event, ArtFields, turns the town into a gallery as local businesses display hundreds of artworks and artists compete for $100,000 in prizes. During the year, our three galleries feature rotating exhibitions to not only provide a place for artists to showcase their work, but also to create access to the arts for an underserved area. A robust public art collection and art education for South Carolina youth finish off our ever-growing art based programs.
