Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Speech first's mission is to support students who seek to protect their rights to free speech, expression or association. By joining together, the speech first community is an assurance to students that they will not fight these battles lone, they will find support every step of the way; on campus, in the courts and in the media.

Speech first will defend students' free speech rights on campus. Through advocacy, litigation, and education, we will put colleges and universities on notice that shutting down unwanted speech will no longer be tolerated.
