Happy Thanksgiving
This year FIRE successfully defended the First Amendment and due process rights of over 300,000 students and professors, won more policy change victories than ever before, and welcomed a record six schools to our “green light” list. Our Student Network has grown to include over 11,000 student, faculty, and alumni members. We have gained many strong new allies both on and off campus, and have expanded our staff, our outreach, and our programs.
So in this season of giving thanks, we wanted to say “thank you” to the people who made all of this success possible. We are extremely grateful for all of your incredible support.
