GOALS

Raise public awareness about the importance of free speech rights and the dangers of censorship through educational campaigns, events, and media outreach.

Advocate for robust legal protections for free speech in legislation, court cases, and policy decisions at the local, state, and national levels.

Monitor and challenge attempts by governments or private entities to restrict or suppress speech, expression, or access to information through censorship, surveillance, or other means.

Defend the rights of marginalized groups, dissidents, and unpopular voices to express their views without fear of retaliation or discrimination.

Promote policies and practices that foster a diverse and inclusive marketplace of ideas, including equal access to public forums and platforms for all viewpoints.

Encourage responsible exercise of free speech rights while also advocating for reasonable limits on speech that directly incites violence, constitutes harassment, or violates other legitimate laws.

Build coalitions and partnerships with other civil liberties organizations, media outlets, academic institutions, and advocacy groups to amplify the voice for free speech protections.

Support whistleblowers, journalists, and others who expose wrongdoing or share information in the public interest, while also protecting their rights to free expression.

Challenge overreaching laws, regulations, or corporate policies that restrict free speech beyond what is necessary to protect public safety or prevent harm.

Cultivate a culture of open discourse, debate, and respect for diverse viewpoints in educational institutions, workplaces, and public spaces.
