We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization with an unwavering commitment to free speech, a principle that underpins democracy and a cause above politics. The university campus is the incubator of democratic citizenship and the breeding ground for leaders in every sector of society. Our work in this area grew from concerns that a rising generation was turning its back on the principles of free speech. I have written a book Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All, which centers on 20 principles for how we can live together in our diverse, digitized, and divided society without curbing free speech. The greatest casualty in this battle may be neither progressive nor conservative ideas, but the principle of free speech itself.
