Your Donations Make a Difference
Donate
By choosing to support the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) with a gift today, you promote one of our nation’s most cherished values: freedom of speech.
You help us advocate on behalf of individuals facing rights violations, and help us litigate to impose real costs on institutions that violate our rights. You make it possible for us to secure rights-protective policy reforms, and you support our groundbreaking research. Your gift helps us educate and empower Americans, arming them with the tools necessary to safeguard their rights, and allows us to share powerful free speech stories and lead the national conversation on freedom of expression.
When you give to FIRE, you join a new movement dedicated to restoring free speech as both a legal right and a cultural value celebrated by Americans everywhere. Make your free speech donation today!
