Free Speech Week

Free Speech Week (FSW) is a yearly event to raise public awareness of the importance of freedom of speech and of the press in our democracy- and to celebrate that freedom.

As freedom of speech and of the press are rights all Americans share, this non-partisan, non-ideological event is intended to be a unifying celebration.

Free Speech Week (FSW) takes place during the third full week of October annually. This year it will be observed October 21-27, 2019.
