Hi John,


The 2025 Summer Issue of the Institute for Free Speech newsletter is hot off the press! See what we’re doing to protect and defend First Amendment speech rights across the country today—digital version up now!

 

You can also get a complimentary print edition mailed to your house. Please email [email protected] to receive our next issue (or just respond to this email with your mailing address).

 

While twelve pages don’t leave enough room to tell you about all that we have accomplished in the past several months, here are some of the highlights:


  • On our cover story, read about how our amicus briefs helped persuade two state supreme courts to take on a pair of critical cases—potentially protecting the rights of donors and grassroots activists.

 

  • On page 11, learn how our successful lawsuit in Kansas helped lead to the Sunflower State’s governor signing two new bills into law—allowing citizens and advocacy groups to speak much more freely.

 

  • And on page 12, catch up with Dr. Bruce Gilley—the University of Oregon professor blocked from one of his own school’s social media accounts for quoting the Declaration of Independence—who claimed victory after a three-year court battle!

 

Our 20th anniversary is shaping up to be a very promising year for free speech rights, thanks in no small part to the generosity of our supporters.

 

I hope you enjoy reading our second newsletter of 2025—our 20th anniversary year—and I look forward to keeping you updated on our continued progress throughout the year.

 

Cordially,

 

David Keating,

President
