Texas Tech Companies are petitioning the Supreme Court after Texas passed a law, banning censorship. These companies feel that their First Amendment rights are being violated and that they should be able to remove extremist and hate content from their platforms.
FAV wants to ensure that citizens know their rights and have a space to talk and ask difficult questions, and the First Amendment makes that possible. Our First Amendment rights are essential for America to thrive.
Freedom of petition is not the first right that people think of when they think of the First Amendment. However, it was essential in the women's suffrage movement. This is only one of many reasons why FAV values the First Amendment so intensely. Happy Women's History Month!
