We Protect Free Speech

Join The Free Speech Movement

At FIRE, we’re unapologetic defenders of the First Amendment. Period.

We’re also pretty darn good at it. We’ve been in this fight for twenty five years. Our teams of litigators, advocates, lobbyists, writers, researchers, and others are incredibly effective at changing laws, policies, and — most importantly — minds.

Add your name to join FIRE’s free speech movement. You’ll learn about our ongoing cases and find out how YOU can help protect our most fundamental freedoms.

Chicago Loves Free Speech

Chicago has long been a national hub for scholarship, the arts, and political activism of all stripes. That’s why it’s critical that we preserve a robust commitment to free speech here for years to come.

Now FIRE is bringing our free speech message to Chicago with a major campaign to spread the word about the work we do and how you can get involved.

Television

We’re bringing FIRE’s defense of free expression to all of Chicago through a major television and digital video campaign highlighting our work.

Billboards

Free speech is a big deal, so we went big. We’re advertising on 49 billboards across Chicago, 100 posters at Metra stations, and on over a dozen displays at Midway Airport. To find the ones nearest you, explore the interactive map below.
