by Rod Williams, March 3, 2026- I have been a supporter of FIRE for a long time. For years, they fought for the free speech of conservative and religious students on college campuses. At some point, they broadened their scope to advocate for free speech everywhere. Now, since the biggest threat to free speech is coming from the Trumpinista right, they are often defending critics of the Trump regime against government efforts to silence them.
In this era of a president advancing an authoritarian agenda, many feel helpless to make an impact. We are not powerless. One thing we can do is support those in the trenches who are resisting the Trump authoritarian agenda. As a conservative, I support those who are remaining true their conservative values, such as respect for norms, fealty to the Constitution, limited government, respect for free speech and rule of law, free trade, and free enterprise. While many Trumpian Republicans apparently never really believed the things they professed to have believed, there are many pundits, publications and thinktanks and activist organizations that have remained true to their beliefs. FIRE has not changed. It continues as a defender of free speech. Please consider sending them a donation.
