Happy New Year from Your Friends at FIRE
For those still looking for charitable opportunities, it’s not too late in the year to donate to FIRE. In the words of the late Milton Friedman:
Over the course of a long lifetime, I have witnessed a serious decline in tolerance and respect for freedom of speech in the academy. FIRE is currently the most effective force countering that trend. It deserves the support of every believer in a free society.
FIRE pledges that it will continue to work to justify Professor Friedman’s faith in our organization—and it is your support that makes work possible. Best wishes for the weekend and a Happy New Year to all!
