Free Speech

We work to ensure that advocates are free to express themselves and support issues that matter to them without the fear of reprisal.

A Foundational Right

Every American has the constitutional right to support issues they believe in without fear of harassment or retaliation. But across the United States, politicians are working overtime to silence those who seek to hold them accountable or those who hold points of view different from their own. To scare Americans into staying silent, politicians are enacting laws aimed at publicizing their advocacy, called “disclosure laws.”

By naming and shaming individuals who support different viewpoints, these laws effectively prevent everyday Americans from speaking out to advance causes they believe in. We won’t let these crucial First Amendment rights be trampled on.

Help Protect Free Speech and Women's Sports!

When a public school coach was fired for the common sense proposal of an open division for transgender athletes to ensure fairness for all, we stepped up and filed a lawsuit on his behalf—free of charge.

We urgently need your support for this case as we fight to defend free speech and protect women’s sports.
