THE WAR ON FREE SPEECH GOES GLOBAL

September 4, 2024 at 8:30 am - 9:30 am BST

THE WAR ON FREE SPEECH GOES GLOBAL

EXCLUSIVE ONLINE EVENT: UK FSU Members will receive the link to join in member emails.

Wednesday 4th September, please note, this take place at 8.30am (UK time).

FSU members are warmly invited to attend the first online meeting of the International Association of Free Speech Unions, an alliance of Free Speech Unions in the UK, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. The unions’ directors will discuss the remarkable similarity between the threats to free speech across the English-speaking world.

As New Zealand FSU Chief Executive Jonathan Ayling said at its launch in July 2024:

“The English-speaking West has led the world in championing the idea that all individuals must be free to speak. This idea has contributed to peaceful, stable, and prosperous countries. Yet this freedom is under threat by both domestic and international opponents. The International Association of Free Speech Unions (IAFSU) will support the work of established FSUs, and enable others to be founded.

While remaining as independent organisations, the cooperation of Free Speech Unions through the IAFSU will ensure we are each able to champion everyone’s right to speak freely domestically and respond to threats that emerge internationally.

Our would-be-censors are on notice; anti-free speech bullies have a fight on their hands.”

For those unable to join this early morning call, a video of the discussion will be published after the event.
