BE FREE! EXPRESS YOURSELF

What is free expression? A lot more than we commonly think. It’s a street artist creating a mural, it’s a political dissenter speaking truth to power, it’s the feeling you have when you’re afraid to speak out, but you know your ideas have value and weight. Don’t let them shut you up, your voice is important and deserves to be heard.

The freedom to express one’s ideas is an important factor for the individuals to flourish in a truly free society. As a concept, this allows us to explore, learn, and innovate in ways that challenge both ourselves and the status quo. Being tolerant and enjoying the freedom to express oneself is essential to a thriving marketplace of ideas and are instrumental to lasting freedom from oppression.
