STUDENT/FACULTY GIVEAWAY: âFree Speech Wallâ Whiteboards
FIRE is celebrating to help raise awareness about this important right that all Americans share. To kick things off for this , weâre helping students and faculty celebrate with a swag giveaway!
Over the summer, FIREstaff designed mini âfree speech wallâ whiteboards to encourage student expression on campus. You may have seen students across the country staging free speech wall events on campus to promote open discourse and dialogue. With institutions nationwide limiting student speech, itâs more important than ever that students understand and assert their rights. The whiteboards also include an important reminder to contact FIREif you face censorship on campus.
So, how do you get your hands on these whiteboards? All you have to do is using your .edu email address, and weâll send one your way. (While supplies last.)
Once youâve received your new whiteboard in the mail, hang it up! Whether itâs on the door of your dorm room or on the office door of your student group, you can use your whiteboard to start a conversation, invite students to an event thatâs coming up, or educate passersby about free speech on campus.
Looking for inspiration for how to use your new whiteboard? Hereâs how a few FIREstaff members are using theirs:
