Happy Holidays from FIRE
As we come to the end of another year, FIRE would like to wish its friends and supporters a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, (or another holiday of your choice!) and all around wonderful holiday season. We're grateful for the generosity and support of our donors and allies. FIRE accomplished more than ever this year, but we also met some new challenges to individual rights on campus. We hope you'll stay with us throughout next year as we continue to work to make the dominant culture on America's campuses one that celebrates our freedom to think rather than one that invents new ways to close students' minds.
