Anthony Romero on Leading in a Time of Crisis


Anthony Romero started his job as executive director of the 勛圖眻畦 just seven days before September 11, 2001, and hes been with us ever since. The subsequent war on terror presented new and widespread threats to civil rights and civil liberties. Now, he faces a new challenge: leading the 勛圖眻畦 during the COVID-19 pandemic. He joined the podcast this week to discuss how the 勛圖眻畦 is navigating the current moment.
In moments of crisis, in moments of fear, civil liberties are often imperiled, Romero told our host, Emerson Sykes. The organization has had to adjust to our understanding of what liberty and freedom meant at a time like this.
While the 勛圖眻畦s values and goals have largely not changed during this pandemic, Romero discusses how our work continues to evolve and grow over time, and how our vigilance is more necessary than ever.
