In “Project 61: The Mission to Give Truckers a Longer, Healthier Life”, Joe Lynch and Jeremy Reymer, the Founder and CEO of Project 61, discuss the shocking statistic that the average life expectancy of a truck driver is just 61 years and the organization's mission to address this health crisis. About Jeremy Reymer Jeremy Reymer is a recognized leader and innovator in the trucking industry with over 20 years of experience as both a carrier and vendor. A frequent speaker and podcast host, he addresses critical issues such as driver recruiting, retention, compliance, and health and wellness. In 2016, Jeremy founded DriverReach, a driver recruiting and compliance technology solution later acquired by Tenstreet. He also launched the popular podcast Taking the Hire Road in 2021, where he continues to spotlight industry voices and share insights. Deeply committed to the future of trucking, Jeremy serves on several industry boards, including Next Generation in Trucking and the Indiana Motor Truck Association. In late 2024, he founded Project 61, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to tackling trucking's greatest health crisis—the 61-year average life expectancy of CDL drivers. About Project 61 Project 61 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to improving the health and longevity of America's truck drivers. Named after the shocking statistic that the average life expectancy of a CDL driver is just 61 years, Project 61 is leading an industry-wide movement to confront this crisis head-on. Through awareness campaigns, education, and innovative health solutions, Project 61 seeks to empower drivers, carriers, and industry stakeholders to take action toward a healthier, more sustainable future for the trucking workforce. By addressing critical wellness challenges - including nutrition, fitness, mental health, and preventive care - Project 61 is working to change the trajectory of drivers' lives and extend careers that are vital to the nation's economy. Key Takeaways: Project 61: The Mission to Give Truckers a Longer, Healthier Life In “Project 61: The Mission to Give Truckers a Longer, Healthier Life”, Joe Lynch and Jeremy Reymer, the Founder and CEO of Project 61, discuss the shocking statistic that the average life expectancy of a truck driver is just 61 years and the organization's mission to address this health crisis. The Trucking Industry's Health Crisis: Project 61 is founded on a shocking statistic: the average life expectancy of a CDL driver is only 61 years old. This fact serves as the primary motivator for the organization and its mission. The podcast should emphasize this data point to highlight the urgency and severity of the issue, framing it not just as a health problem, but as an industry-wide epidemic that needs immediate attention from all stakeholders. Jeremy Reymer's Passion and Experience: Reymer's background as a seasoned leader and innovator in the trucking industry provides him with unique credibility. His previous success with DriverReach, a company he founded and sold, demonstrates his ability to identify a problem, develop a technology-driven solution, and lead a successful venture. This personal journey from a carrier and vendor to a nonprofit founder shows his deep commitment to the future of trucking beyond just business. Addressing Wellness Challenges: The podcast can delve into the specific health challenges that Project 61 aims to tackle. These include nutrition, fitness, mental health, and preventive care. The unique lifestyle of a long-haul truck driver—with its sedentary nature, isolation, and often unhealthy food options on the road—contributes to high rates of chronic conditions like obesity and diabetes. Discussing these specific issues will give listeners a concrete understanding of the problem. The Power of Community and Technology: Project 61's approach isn't just about awareness; it's about providing practical, accessible solutions. The organization recently acquired Offshift, a digital health platform specifically designed for truck drivers. This shows a commitment to leveraging technology and community to foster habit change and provide free tools and resources that drivers can use on the road. This technological component is a key part of the strategy to make a tangible difference. Beyond the Individual Driver: The mission of Project 61 extends to the entire industry. The nonprofit aims to empower not just drivers, but also carriers and other industry stakeholders. The podcast can highlight how investing in driver health is beneficial for businesses, leading to reduced healthcare costs, higher retention rates, and improved safety. This reframes driver health as a smart business investment, not just a moral obligation. A Collaborative Movement: Reymer's work with organizations like Next Generation in Trucking and the Indiana Motor Truck Association underscores his belief in a collaborative approach. The podcast can stress that solving this crisis requires a unified movement involving carriers, vendors, insurance partners, and the media. This collaborative spirit is central to Project 61's strategy of creating an industry-wide change.

This episode examines Absence of Malice, a 1981 drama directed by Sidney Pollack. After Miami-based newspaper reporter Megan Carter (Sally Field) is tipped off by Justice Department organized crime strike force chief Elliot Rosen (Bob Balaban) about a criminal investigation into the disappearance and likely murder of a local union official, her paper runs a sensational front-page story. But the supposed target of the investigation, Michael Gallagher (Paul Newman), the son of an infamous bootlegger, is innocent; Rosen, the strike force chief, has leaked his name to the press to try to squeeze Gallagher for information. Gallagher is incensed and tries to pressure Megan to reveal her source. Megan initially refuses but later relents after her story unexpectedly leads to the tragic death of a friend of Gallagher's. Gallagher and Megan also become romantically involved. Gallagher hatches a plot to get even and get the government off his back. He causes an unsuspecting Megan to write another sensational story, this time implicating the District Attorney in a bribery scheme that Gallagher has invented. When the truth is revealed, both the prosecutors and the newspaper are humiliated, the victims of their own game of leaking information and reporting about it. Absence of Malice provides an insightful, if unflattering, picture of how newspapers operate and some of the ethical and moral complications that can result from the robust protections afforded the press under the First Amendment.  I'm joined by Brian Hauss, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, who has litigated numerous landmark First Amendment cases. Timestamps:0:00     Introduction3:31     The meaning of “absence of malice” 8:15     Deciding what a paper can print11:22   A skeptical take on the absence of malice standard  15:02   The meaning of “public figure”20:47   A newspaper reporter's First Amendment privilege?26:10   How the government handles leaks30:20   A troubling increase in leak prosecutions32:31   The “Leaky Leviathan”: How the government uses leaks39:06   The obligations of the press42:43   The legal vs. ethical obligations of the press48:11   Assessing critiques of the absence of malice standard 54:59   Timeless questions explored by the filmFurther reading:Adler, Renata, Reckless Disregard: ‘Westmoreland v.

Debates over free speech have simmered, and occasionally boiled over, on university campuses for decades. But in recent months, the clash over words and phrases has reached a flashpoint, reaching beyond classrooms and quads as far as the halls of Congress. College and university presidents have faced fierce criticism — chronicled in extensive media coverage — over how they've handled protests over the Israel-Gaza conflict and other activities at their schools, including who can or should speak at events and how to foster a sense of community safety. Looking ahead, what can colleges and universities do to protect the fundamental principles of free speech and academic freedom while simultaneously creating an atmosphere where everyone can learn? When can speech be considered threatening, and who decides where the line is? How can journalists cover a topic so rife with nuance and rhetorical complexity? And as this debate continues, how much influence should alumni, donors, and political leaders have on campuses, private and public? In this episode, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky leads a panel discussion about these important questions with three experts who approach the topic from different angles:Geeta Anand, dean of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who wrote for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Rutland Herald, and Cape Cod News during her 27-year career as a journalist. She began teaching at Berkeley in 2018 and became the journalism school's dean in 2020. University of California, Irvine, Chancellor Howard Gilman, an award-winning scholar and teacher with an expertise in the American Constitution and the Supreme Court, with appointments in the School of Law and the departments of Political Science, History, and Criminology, Law, and Society. He also provides administrative oversight to and serves as co-chair of the advisory board of the University of California's National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement.Emerson Sykes, a staff attorney with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. Sykes focuses on First Amendment free speech protections. From 2019-2020, he was also host of “At Liberty,” the ACLU's weekly podcast. Before joining the ACLU in 2018, he was a legal advisor for Africa at the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law, and assistant general counsel to the New York City Council, where he contributed to the council's friend-of-the-court brief against the NYPD's “stop and frisk” program.About:“More Just” from Berkeley Law is a podcast about how law schools can and must play a role in solving society's most difficult problems.

Free speech is one of the hallmarks of a functioning democracy and one of our fundamental constitutional rights. At the ACLU, we know that it's precisely in times of crisis and fear when free speech, open debate, and peaceful dissent are most important. Over the last few months, as the world continues to witness the catastrophe in Israel and Palestine, protests in support of Palestine are being silenced and censored on college campuses. In early November, the ACLU sent out an open letter to the administrative leaders of each state's public college system that reached over 650 colleges and universities, expressing our strong opposition to any efforts that stifle free speech on college campuses, and urging universities to reject calls to investigate, disband, or penalize pro-Palestinian student groups for exercising their free speech rights. In Florida, State University System Chancellor Ray Rodrigues already issued an order in consultation with Governor Ron DeSantis to deactivate Students for Justice in Palestine chapters in the state. In response, we and our partners at the ACLU of Florida and Palestine Legal are suing Governor DeSantis and Florida university system officials on behalf of the University of Florida's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine to block the deactivation order from taking effect. Joining us to discuss this important lawsuit are Shaiba Rather, the Nadine Strossen fellow with the ACLU's National Security Project and Tyler Takemoto, the William J. Brennan fellow with the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project.

On the third season of Entitled, we're circling back to the first fundamental right: the freedom of speech. Lawyers and law professors Claudia Flores and Tom Ginsburg begin this season by peeling back the curtains of how this right is currently playing out at universities across the country. In recent years, there have been tensions — and intense clashes — around speakers invited to campus, what professors are allowed to say in the classroom, and what subject matter should even be allowed to be taught. Now, with many of these cases making their way to the courts, is free speech at universities entering a dangerous new era?In this episode, they speak with Robert Post, Sterling Professor of Law at Yale Law School; and Ben Wizner, Director of the Speech, Privacy and Technology Project at the ACLU; and Komi Frey, Director of Faculty Outreach at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

In this episode we chat with Ben Wizner - Edward Snowden's lawyer, and the director of the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project - and Caroline Wilson Palow - PI's Legal Director about what it was like to be knee deep in the legal and policy responses to Snowden's revelations, holding British and US intelligence agencies to account for secret powers.

Are we ready to live under the watchful eye of drones?In this Tech Roundup podcast, Trace Mitchell (Institute for Justice), Brent Skorup (Mercatus Center), and Jay Stanley (ACLU) discuss the rapid adoption of drone technology by law enforcement entities and the legal and policy implications of this trend.They provide insights into recent court cases involving warrantless drone surveillance, spotlighting the difficulty in applying previous Fourth Amendment jurisprudence to this new technology. They discuss the legitimate interests of law enforcement in using drones but grapple with the societal risks of normalizing unending overhead surveillance. They explore establishing reasonable limitations, transparency, and democratic oversight in law enforcement drone programs.Tune in to this thought-provoking conversation on personal liberties, privacy, and the future of law enforcement.Featuring:- Trace Mitchell, Litigation Fellow, Institute for Justice- Jay Stanley, Senior Policy Analyst, Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, ACLU- [Moderator] Brent Skorup, Senior Research Fellow, Mercatus Center, George Mason UniversityAdditional Resources:- Michigan Drone Surveillance- Protecting Privacy From Aerial Surveillance: Recommendations for Government Use of Drone Aircraft- 2023 State Drone Commerce Rankings- Drones, Airspace Design, and Aerial Law in States and CitiesVisit our website – www.RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.*******As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.

In this episode, Caitlin Chin speaks with Nathan Freed Wessler, deputy director of the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, about how technological advancements have shifted the U.S. government's relationship with the private sector.

Thanks to advancing technology, the police can now easily and cheaply monitor public spaces and identify, profile, and track individuals. Can the Fourth Amendment protect us from sweeping government digital surveillance? Nathan Wessler, a deputy director of the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, joins the show to discuss. For more, check out the ACLU's cert. petition in Moore v. United States, which argues that the police need a warrant to conduct 24/7 camera surveillance outside a home.

Last year, the LGBTQ community faced an onslaught of scrutiny and threats, from bills banning trans youth from participating in sports, to bans on gender-affirming care for trans youth. Towards the end of the year, another front for legislative and violent attacks emerged: drag shows. As drag reality competitions and drag brunches become increasingly popular, backlash in the form of armed protests and intimidation of drag performers has followed. In November, an Oklahoma bakeshop had a molotov cocktail thrown through its window after hosting a drag show. Later that same month, a shooter entered a Colorado Springs drag show and opened fire, killing five people and injuring over 20 more. In December, far right groups such as the Patriot Front and Proud Boys showed up to a drag story hour in Columbus, Ohio, armed while others held up signs with slogans like "groomers not welcome" and "groomers are child abusers." These are, unfortunately, not one offs. GLAAD reported that drag events faced 141 protests and serious threats in 2022. Towards the end of 2022, lawmakers in six states proposed bills to ban drag in public or in the presence of minors. Amidst this wave of anti-drag legislation and violence, drag performers and host venues across the country are moving to higher security or cancel performances altogether. Despite this risk, drag performers are mobilizing to resist this most recent wave of discrimination and can count on the ACLU to support the fight against drag censorship. Here to talk with us about drag censorship and the tools to defend this expression are Peppermint, notable drag performer and ACLU's Artist Ambassador for Transgender Justice, and Emerson Sykes, senior staff attorney at the ACLU's Speech Privacy and Technology Project.

If you live in a state where abortions have been banned since the overturn of Roe v. Wade, accessing abortion is a huge challenge. But unfortunately, access is not the only challenge -- pursuing an abortion without leaving a trace poses another huge hurdle. If you search for resources online, if you get in your car and travel, who you text, if you ship pills to your house -- will the state find out? In our daily lives, many of our actions are tracked for consumption and utilization by various companies and organizations. That data could now be used against you if you seek an abortion. We are used to hearing people shrug off data surveillance concerns. The saying from digital privacy naysayers goes: if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. But now, we maybe have something new to hide, and therefore maybe something new to fear. Today, we are digging into data privacy in a post-Roe world and learning both what we individually can do to best keep our data safe and what we can ask of data collectors and government officials to help us in our pursuit of privacy. Joining us is Jennifer Granick, Surveillance and Cybersecurity Counsel, for the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project.

Cameras are everywhere. Every person you pass on the street has a camera on their phone and security cameras are everywhere. They're so cheap and small now, and most of them are connected to the cloud. Not only does that mean they basically have unlimited storage, but it also opens the door for computers to process those images and footage looking for faces. Today, I'll speak with Nate Wessler from the ACLU about the implications of this technological perfect storm on our privacy and what rights we actually have today with regard to facial recognition and use of these systems by law enforcement. Nate Wessler is a deputy director with the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, where he focuses on litigation and advocacy around surveillance and privacy issues, including government searches of electronic devices, requests for sensitive data held by third parties, and use of surveillance technologies.

Last month, a federal judge in Richmond, Virginia ruled that the use of a geofence warrant to make an arrest in a robbery case was unconstitutional because it violated the Fourth Amendment. Civil liberties advocates have raised concerns about geofence warrants for a long time because they give police data for anyone whose phone was in a given area during a specific timeframe. The Takeaway speaks with Jennifer Granick, surveillance and cybersecurity counsel with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, about what this latest ruling means for the use of geofence warrants going forward.

More than three dozen states have passed, or are considering, laws restricting how public school teachers can talk about racism under the guise of banning “Critical Race Theory.” But what is Critical Race Theory? And how can law schools, law professors, and law students respond to these campaigns, when most — if not all — of the political discussion falls somewhere on the spectrum between misleading and false? Three experts join Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky: Kimberlé Crenshaw, Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law at Columbia Law School, Distinguished Professor of Law at UCLA Law, and Co-Founder & Executive Director of The African American Policy Forum, whose work has been foundational in critical race theory and in “intersectionality,” a term she coined to describe the double bind of simultaneous racial and gender prejudice; Berkeley Law Professor Khiara M. Bridges, the author of “Critical Race Theory: A Primer”; and Emerson Sykes, Senior Staff Attorney at the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, who focuses on First Amendment free speech protections and is working on litigation involving some of these new laws.About: Introducing “More Just,” a podcast about how law schools can and must play a role in solving society's most difficult problems.

I was looking for some certainty around the tough issues of censorship and misinformation — legal definitions, rules, and clear lines — so I called Ben Wizner, a lawyer with the ACLU and the director of its Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. I'd hoped we'd have a Free Speech 101–type conversation, with tidy resolutions and a clear path forward. But what I suspected, and Ben confirmed, is that the law gives us very few answers to the hardest questions that we have. So in this episode, the two of us grapple with issues of balance and boundaries, unpacking the harms that speech can cause and the harms that censorship can cause. I'm glad that we had over an hour to talk, because as tempting as it is to approach issues like this with firm certainty or with 140 characters, it's much more important to unpack the nuances and unlock the opportunity for growth and learning.

February marks Black History Month, a time to recognize the significant achievements and culture of Black Americans–from bell hooks to Beyonce–and also to honor an accurate history about them, a history that we know is rife with discrimination and abuse -- think: slavery, Jim Crow, and the structural racism we're still infected with today. Sadly, more and more, this history is being challenged and even erased in our culture and, right now, in our schools, through tactics like curriculum restrictions and book bans. Truths we once considered hard but self-evident are now being erased before our eyes. Over 30 state legislatures across the country have introduced bills to limit the discussion of racial history in a wave prompted by the emergence of critical race theory as a subject of political fear-mongering. But that's just the beginning:, over 300 books by predominantly Black authors discussing race, gender, and sexuality, were also banned in the last year alone. Yes, you heard me right. We're banning books again. When your history is banned, how do you learn about your ancestors? How do we learn from what's happened in the past and how it affects our present? When your culture is banned, how do you see yourself? How do you belong? How do you celebrate the stories, music, food, and family that made you? At the ACLU, we believe that the first amendment is so fundamental because it should stop this kind of erasure in its tracks. That's why we're meeting this surge of censorship with new litigation and fierce advocacy. Joining us today to share more is Emerson Sykes, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project and longtime listeners will remember Emerson as one of At Liberty's former hosts.

0:08 – As technological problems delay results from the Iowa caucus, we hear reactions from John Nichols, National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation, and Rashad Robinson (@rashadrobinson), spokesperson for Color of Change PAC. Iowa is not representative of the racial makeup of the United States, Robinson points out — and neither is New Hampshire, where Democratic candidates will campaign next. Color of Change has been reaching out to presidential campaigns to talk with them about their policies affecting Black people, and the organization says the Biden and Klobuchar campaigns have not been responsive. 0:25 – The ACLU is questioning the U.S. government's decision to mandate quarantines in response to coronavirus, over concerns about civil liberties and evidence-based policy. We hear from Jay Stanley (@JayCStanley), senior policy analyst with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. Stanley's latest commentary is “What You Need to Know About the Coronavirus Outbreak: A Civil Liberties Perspective.” 0:34 – We host a debate on San Francisco Proposition D, a proposed tax on vacant storefronts, which San Francisco voters will decide on the March 3rd ballot. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the SF Chronicle editorial board have endorsed the measure. Joining us are Aaron Peskin, San Francisco Supervisor for District 3, and Clint Griess, executive director of the San Francisco Republican Party, which is opposing Proposition D. 0:50 – There's been a bloody start to the new year in Colombia. Almost one human rights or environmental leader per day has been assassinated in Colombia so far this year, with rural areas particularly hard hit. It's a far cry from the hopes of peace and prosperity when the government signed a landmark peace deal with FARC rebel leaders in September of 2015. Alexandra Ruiz reports from Bogotá, Colombia. 0:56 – As the countdown to the 2020 Census approaches, community organizers in the San Joaquin Valley are launching an educational campaign stressing the importance of census data for everything from social services funding to political representation. In Fresno recently the Dolores Huerta Foundation has embarked on a mission to maximize participation among hard-to-reach populations. Vic Bedoian reports from Fresno. 1:08 – Why hasn't the U.S. yet closed the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba? We talk with Peter Jan Honigsberg, professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law, and director of Witness to Guantanamo, a project to record the experiences of people who endured imprisonment and torture at Guantanamo, as well as those who worked and lived there. His new book is A Place Outside the Law. He will be speaking at the Hillside Club in Berkeley tonight, February 4. Tickets here. 1:34 – Puerto Ricans are facing political and geological crises, with earthquakes severely disrupting life on the island, and protests against the governor over new scandals over undistributed disaster relief from Hurricane Maria. We talk to Javier Cordova of the Puerto Rican Association of University Professors (APPU). Cordova was a professor of computer science at the University of Puerto Rico for 30 years until his retirement, and he is a member of the Citizens Victory Movement, a new political party on the island. The post Rashad Robinson responds to Iowa caucus results; San Francisco will vote on taxing vacant storefronts; a new political party forms in Puerto Rico appeared first on KPFA.
