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.

Without free speech, there would be no Music City. The First Amendment has protected and preserved free artistic expression since the country’s founding. And that’s enabled a groundswell of art, music, and culture to develop over the years.
To celebrate that legacy — and to protect and preserve free expression for years to come — FIRE is bringing our free speech message to Nashville. We couldn’t think of a better place to remind all Americans: free speech is FIRE!
FIRE gratefully accepts donations using major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo and PayPal.
We can only do this work because of the generosity of our donors. Speech is free; defending it isn’t.
That’s why FIRE needs you on our side.
For just $25/year you can be a card-carrying member of FIRE, and help defend the rights of all Americans to free speech and thought. Each and every day, we’re putting our members’ $25 contributions to good use – defending your rights in the courts of law and public opinion.
