The First Amendment Freedom of Assembly

The First Amendment protects more than freedom of speech. It also gives people the right to gather peacefully to share ideas, support a cause, celebrate, protest, or simply stand together.

In today’s Brontos comic, our prehistoric friends explore the Freedom of Assembly in a fun, age-appropriate way that helps young learners understand why this right has been an important part of American democracy for more than two centuries.

Watch the companion video below, then enjoy the comic and continue the conversation about why peaceful assembly remains an essential freedom for every generation.
