About Speech first
Speech First: Defending Free Speech on Campus
In today's world, free speech is more important than ever. It is the cornerstone of democracy and a fundamental right that must be protected at all costs. Unfortunately, in recent years, we have seen a disturbing trend on college campuses across the country where free speech is being suppressed and censored.
That's where Speech First comes in. We are an organization dedicated to defending the constitutional rights of students on college campuses across America. Our mission is simple: to ensure that every student has the right to express their opinions freely without fear of censorship or retaliation.
At Speech First, we believe that free speech is essential for intellectual diversity and academic freedom. We stand with students who want to engage in open dialogue and debate about important issues facing our society today.
Our organization was founded by Nicole Neily, a lawyer who has spent her career fighting for individual rights and liberties. She saw firsthand how free speech was being threatened on college campuses and decided to take action.
Since our founding in 2018, we have been working tirelessly to defend the rights of students across America. We provide legal support for students who have been unfairly targeted or punished for expressing their opinions on campus.
We also work with universities to promote policies that protect free speech while maintaining a safe and inclusive environment for all students. Our goal is not only to defend individual rights but also to create a culture of open dialogue where diverse perspectives are welcomed and respected.
One of our most significant achievements so far has been challenging unconstitutional speech codes at several universities across America successfully. These codes restrict student expression by prohibiting "offensive" or "hateful" language without any clear definition or guidelines as what constitutes such language.
We believe that these codes violate the First Amendment's protection of freedom of expression, which guarantees everyone's right to speak their minds freely without fear of government censorship or punishment.
Speech First also provides resources such as training sessions, workshops, and educational materials to help students understand their rights and how to exercise them effectively. We believe that education is the key to promoting free speech on campus.
In conclusion, Speech First is an organization dedicated to defending free speech on college campuses across America. We stand with students who want to express their opinions freely without fear of censorship or retaliation. Our mission is simple: to ensure that every student has the right to engage in open dialogue and debate about important issues facing our society today. Join us in our fight for freedom of expression!
