Free Speech is under attack! Support the FEF! They don’t receive fat cat pork funds as do the National Lawyers Guild and ACLU.

ICYMI: As it stands now, there is no practical way to sue a federal official for violating your Constitutional rights.
Adapting 42 U.S.C. 1983 to the federal level is the clearest path forward.
The First Amendment protects free expression. But what happens when a federal official retaliates against you for exercising that right?
In our new article, we examine Austin Franco’s dismissed civil rights complaint, the troubling gap in legal remedies, and a proposed solution: the Freedom of Expression Act.
The stakes reach beyond one case. They concern every American’s ability to speak freely and hold federal officials accountable.
Read the full article below ⬇️
On September 7, 2026, the Free Expression Foundation’s Glen Allen filed a civil complaint against Accuracy in Media (“AIM”) for multiple violations of the District of Columbia’s Consumer Protection Procedures Act (“CPPA”) on behalf of Cornell student Austin Franco. Mr. Franco entered the public eye when he politely declined to work with Jewish individuals at the tech startup VrfyID.
Amid the public firestorm over Mr. Franco’s stance, AIM sent a fraudulent letter to him purporting to be from an entirely separate non-profit called Justice in the Classroom. The letter offered a wide variety of services including legal representation and grants. In reality, the effort was a farce in order to gain access to Mr. Franco for the purposes of making a secret recording.
Mr. Allen sent a demand letter to AIM for five separate violations of D.C.’s CPPA. Following the elapsed deadline to respond, he filed suit in the District of Columbia’s Superior Court on September 7. AIM has 21 days to respond to the complaint after being served.

Government sanctioned black-listing of First Amendment protected speech. @LeoTerrellDOJ, who made you the arbiter of what speech is permitted under the law? Your abuse of governmental authority to harass Americans for their rights of free expression is noted, documented, and reported to the @TheJusticeDept for corrective action.
@AGToddBlanche is this the kind of conduct you approve of in your department? What is the status of @AustinFranco123's civil rights complaint against Mr. Terrell for this same behavior?
"Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us."
--William O. Douglas, longest serving justice on the US Supreme Court
