Who We Are

Protect The 1st is a nonpartisan group of U.S. citizens who advocate for protection of our First Amendment rights—before Congress, state legislatures, administrative bodies, courts, and in the public arena.
 
A key mission of Protect the 1st is to stop the enactment of legislative and administrative provisions that violate First Amendment rights, thereby helping those affected to avoid spending the millions of dollars usually required to defend their rights in court.
 
We stand up for people from across the ideological spectrum, of all religions and no religion, including people who hold views we disagree with and even disavow. Protect the 1st is a 501(c)(4) organization that supports legislation protecting against retaliation for unpopular speech by government and other powerful entities. We support measures to protect speech, conscience and religious freedom in the military. We stand for legislation that protects the confidential sources of reporters. We oppose measures that would expand libel law to curtail online speech.
