What do you do when government tries to limit your freedom of expression?
A group of young free market Argentines are making sure their voices are heard. Protests, interviews, press conferences, viral campaigns and more are what “Argentina sin Mordaza” (Argentina without a Gag) is doing to combat a proposed law which will increase control on media outlets in Argentina. The group, a few of which are Atlas contacts, arose spontaneously months ago and has been working hard to promote the importance of freedom of speech. Tomorrow (October 6th), at 6:30pm is the culmination of all their efforts; they will distributing 25,000 flyers promoting a protest which will take place in front of Congress later that evening.
