IAFF and The Washington Post with Funny or Die to Host First Amendment Party
We are excited to announce that we're joining forces with The Washington Post and Funny or Die to celebrate the second annual "First Amendment Party" as part of the White House Correspondents Association Dinner weekend. We will be celebrating the history and impact of the First Amendment, which by establishing and defending freedom of speech and of the press, has played a critical role in shaping our nation by empowering the press to tell America's story. It will be held on Friday, April 30th, 10:00 pm - 2:00 pm.
We all know The Washington Post provides award-winning news and analysis about the politics, policies, personalities and institutions that make Washington, DC the world's seat of power. And it would be hard to miss the impact and attention Funny or Die has been getting for its oft-politically themed and impactful comedy on their award-winning website, founded by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy.
Last year's celebration brought together filmmakers, actors, artists, press and policy-makers and was the perfect kick-off to the weekend-long nod to the role of press in American politics and life (check out our past programs page). IAFF and our partners will be cooking up a great event, you can be sure.
More to come.
