Information is often censored by those with their own agendas.
The First Amendment isn’t only about protecting your right to speak freely. It also gives you access to other people’s ideas and allows you to discover the truth for yourself.
Free speech empowers all of us to think critically and make our own decisions. Without it, we are at the mercy of the censors and the busybodies who seek to control the narrative and dictate what we should see, hear, and believe.
For more than 25 years, FIRE has consistently defended individuals across the nation whose voices are threatened.
Our work includes defending academics, journalists, and everyday people across the political spectrum — because no one should be silenced for saying what they believe. By standing up for free speech, we are not only defending a constitutional right. We are protecting your right to be yourself.
With the support of people like you, we’re going to make sure that free speech remains just that — free for all.
