Take Action
You have the right to hold your deepest beliefs, speak out, express yourself through art and music, publish your thoughts, and gather with people to challenge the powerful. All of these essential freedoms are brought to you by the First Amendment. Yet few Americans can even name their First Amendment freedoms. Understanding and exercising your rights is the best way to protect them, not just for you but for everyone.
Each of us has a role to play in defending the five freedoms of the First Amendment. Here are some actions you can take today to get involved in our fight for 1A freedom for all.
Contact Your Representative
It's your right to contact lawmakers in your state, local and federal government so your voice can be heard. Reach out to the people who represent you and ask them to hear what you have to say.
Take the Pledge
Do your part to foster the freedoms of religion, speech, the press, assembly and petition in your community and beyond.
