Support FIRE’s Summer Internship Program!

It’s hard to believe that there’s just one month left in this year’s FIRE Summer Internship Program! Our 2014 interns have been diligently working alongside FIRE staff to defend civil liberties for fellow students on campuses across the country. Soon, they will return to their campuses with the lessons they learned here at FIRE, fight to reform their universities’ speech codes, and stand up to any threats to free speech they may face.
In the meantime, there’s still plenty of work to be done! Please send a gift today to support our internship program and perhaps even sponsor one student’s entire internship experience here at FIRE.
