Free Speech Union South Africa
The Free Speech Union is a non-profit organisation that promotes freedom of speech and opinion, and stands up for anyone who is, or risks being, penalised for exercising these rights whether in the workplace or the public square.
The FSU SA will promote free speech and criticise when it is being threatened.
To this end we will:
- Support you privately and publicly;
- Try to advise and assist you in the event you’re no-platformed by any person, group of people, institution or social media platform;
- Assist you in challenging any attempt by any person, group of people or institution to limit your free speech or engender an environment which prevents or discourages you from speaking out;
- If you’re punished by your employer because you’ve exercised your lawful right to free speech, do our best to provide you with assistance or refer you to specialists who can help.
“Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom - and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech.” - Benjamin Franklin
