Google's dispute | Is there a place for employee protest at work?

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The first amendment rights outlined above are the most sacrosanct part of the Constitution. But in a world where people still feel the need to protest to affect meaningful change or undo unjust laws “the right of the people peaceably to assemble” is both more important than ever and under threat like never before.
