Happy Thanksgiving from FIRE!
This Thanksgiving, FIRE is grateful for you.
In 2012, FIRE welcomed two new "green light" schools, providing freedom of expression for over 40,000 students; we saw the fall of another unconstitutional "free speech zone" in federal court; and we released an updated Guide that has already helped hundreds of thousands of students understand their rights. And we have continued to give help and support to hundreds of students and professors as they fight to stem the tide of censorship on campus.
Thank you for making all of our work possible.
Happy Thanksgiving,
