The Birth of Free Speech for People

Free Speech for People was established on the same day the Citizens United decision was announced, aiming to combat its influence on elections and uphold a representative democracy. The organization mobilized efforts to challenge corporate power and ensure fair elections through various campaigns, including interventions during elections and calls for impeachment following major political scandals. This initiative highlights the organization's commitment to confront systematic issues that stem from the Citizens United ruling, demonstrating a grassroots approach to electoral integrity. Their actions gained momentum in the wake of increased political tension, particularly around the events of January 6th, emphasizing the urgency of protecting democracy from external corruption.
