Why Join the FSU?

University is a place to explore new ideas, challenge perspectives, and discover who you are.

The FSU stands for free speech – the cornerstone of academic freedom and personal development. We believe every student should have the right to express their views on campus. Our mission is to protect that right for everyone so that you can engage in healthy debate, push boundaries and truly make the most of your university experience.

What Does Your Membership Include?

By joining the FSU, you’ll gain access to a wide range of benefits that support your freedom of speech and give you the tools to stand up for your rights. These include:

  • Help and Support: If you find yourself in a position where you feel your freedom of expression is threatened – whether from the university authorities, the students’ union or being targeted by your peers on social media – we can help. Our expert case and legal teams are here to provide advice, representation and peace of mind.
  •  
  • Community and Events: You’ll become part of a growing network of students and professionals who believe in open dialogue and the exchange of ideas. Attend exclusive and discounted FSU events and debates across the UK that encourage discussion, critical thinking and mutual respect, while also meeting new friends and potential collaborators.
  •  
  • Online Resources: Learn how to navigate difficult conversations, protect your rights, and engage with others in meaningful ways. You’ll have access to premium content including guides, videos,and our weekly and monthly newsletters that empower you to express yourself confidently and responsibly.
  •  
  • Campaigns and Advocacy: The FSU is actively involved in advocating for policy changes and standing up against censorship on campuses across the country. As a member, you’ll be part of a movement that’s making a real difference in promoting free speech in higher education.
  •  
  • This is your chance to join a community that stands for something important. At just £14.99 for the whole year – 50% off our standard student annual membership – you can be part of a movement that champions the very thing that makes university life so exciting: the free exchange of ideas. Whether you’re passionate about politics, enjoy art that pushes the boundaries or simply want to feel confident expressing your views, FSU membership gives you the support and confidence you need.
  •  
  • This offer ends on October 31st, so sign up now to secure your membership and make your mark at university.

“I would like to express the most sincere thanks to FSU for the incredible, above and beyond support I am currently receiving. I could not ask for more! Heartfelt thanks.”

“I joined the Free Speech Union because it is making a stand against those who are attempting to destroy freedom of thought and expression, both in this country, and throughout the democratic world. Thanks for all you are doing.”

“My family and I escaped the war with Iraq in 1988. I’ve seen first-hand the assault on the mind any encroachment on free speech causes. It’s hard to describe to someone who hasn’t lived it, the terror that your tongue may slip and you may say something less than glowing about your country's leaders, even as a child.

“For us, freedom of speech bears perhaps an even more significant and personal value than most; we've witnessed societies without it and seen the assault on the human mind following from it. This is why supporting the FSU is not just a privilege but a duty.”

“The FSU stands for integrity, impartiality, and courage in an age where the public realm is increasingly compromised by ideology, cowardice, and careerism. In standing up for the right of the individual to speak – and therefore think – freely, the FSU defends all of us against the forces of creeping tyranny.”

“I really appreciate your support with this… The Free Speech Union does amazing work.”

“I have no horrifying story of cancellation that drove me to join the FSU, just the creeping existential dread of someone who rarely talks, gradually seeing more and more of the few words they do speak becoming verboten. I saw the FSU and decided their work was worth supporting, even if I was unlikely to require the FSU’s services, by joining I could help them to help anyone that needed it.”

“If you don’t think free speech is being eroded at an alarming rate, the FSU will enlighten you. It’s so important not to take free speech for granted.”

“Thanks to the FSU I am not going to be disciplined by MMU for blasphemy. I won’t ever forget the only friends I had when it really counted.

“Once I am qualified and no longer at the mercy of academia then the FSU can count on me for full throated and unequivocal support. If there is a fight for free speech, free expression or simply plain liberty then I don’t care who it is, I’ll be right there to man the barricades.”

“So grateful to Toby and team for creating this wonderful organisation – it’s very reassuring to know the FSU is there should I need it. It gives me confidence to speak with honesty and truth and whilst I am still worried about consequences I know there are thousands of likeminded people with me – THANK YOU.”

“I am really pleased that at last we have a union for Free speech. We must not be shut down for having an opposite view to those on the left. It’s absolutely unbelievable what this cult is able to do. And I’m sick of the ever growing influence they are able to have on the general public.”

“Everyone should be able to have an opinion and discuss it without the PC Police and their cronies trying to stop the Democratic right of someone to express their views.”
