A father from Uvalde, Texas, who was banned from school property after raising concerns about safety protocols following the deadly mass shooting at Robb Elementary. An army vet who’s been arrested outside of public buildings in Georgia for holding a sign that reads “God Bless the Homeless Vets.” A high school student who was suspended for wearing a “Let’s Go Brandon” shirt in class.

When their rights were threatened, FIRE’s team of free speech lawyers were ready to help.
Across the country, free speech rights are increasingly under fire from across the political spectrum. Far too many Americans fear sharing their views or challenging others, and nearly 6-in-10 believe our nation’s democracy is threatened because people are afraid to voice their opinions.
For more than 20 years, FIRE defended those rights on college campuses, but in 2022 we expanded our mission to defend and promote the value of free speech for all Americans in our courtrooms, on our campuses, and in our culture.
FIRE’s free speech lawyers are standing by, ready to jump into action when your rights are violated.
