About FIRE

thefire.org

FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) is a nonprofit dedicated to defending and sustaining the individual rights of Americans to free speech and free thought. Originating in higher education, it advocates for students and faculty facing censorship or disciplinary action, challenges restrictive campus policies, and provides legal representation and resources. FIRE also brings litigation, policy analysis, public campaigns, and educational programs to reform institutional rules and promote free-expression principles broadly. The organization is known for its campus reports, legal interventions, and the FIRE Student Network that supports individual rights advocacy.
