Become a Free Speech Insider!

At FIRE, we defend the First Amendment. No throat-clearing. No apologies.

We’re also pretty darn good at it. We’ve been in this fight for over 25 years. Our team of litigators, advocates, writers, and researchers champion free speech for all Americans in both the court of law and the court of public opinion.

Here in the Hoosier State and across America, FIRE works every day to keep the First Amendment alive. Right now, we’re fighting to protect the free speech rights of students and faculty at Indiana University, where repeated censorship has earned it the title of America’s worst public university for free speech.

Subscribe to become a free speech insider. You’ll learn how we’re defending free speech nationwide, get updates on FIRE’s work in Indiana, and find out how you can help.

FIRE members help us defend the rights of all Americans to free speech and expression. Far too many Americans don’t understand the value of free speech and the principles behind it. Our members do.

We accept no government funds — not one cent. Our ability to defend fundamental rights relies on individuals who believe in our cause and are willing to back it. By making a gift today, you will join over 10,000 Americans who fuel our work through their generous donations — ensuring we have the resources to take on cases regardless of politics or popularity.

We hope you'll join us.
