Happy Fall From FIRE!

The fall is off to a blistering pace. FIRE staffers are already meeting with supporters in over 25 cities and more than 15 states across the country this semester with more to come. We’re also well on the way to having the highest number of case submissions in our 14-year history!
Perhaps the biggest case we are currently fighting is in California at Modesto Junior College, where a student was banned from passing out Constitutions—on Constitution Day! FIRE is coordinating the student’s lawsuit against the school and its administrators. This case is just another disturbing example of why our mission is so important.
We are very proud of the work we do here at FIRE, but we always remember the tremendous support, both financial and otherwise, that donors, students, faculty, and lawyers lend to our organization. Indeed, their support is what makes our work defending liberty on campus possible. We truly cannot thank them enough.
If you would like to make a donation and join our network of supporters, online giving is the easiest way, or a development associate can assist you over the phone (215-717-3473) during regular business hours. Students and faculty may join our Campus Freedom Network, and lawyers may join our Legal Network.
Wishing you and your family a fun and festive fall season,
The FIRE Development Team
