Upholding the First Amendment as a Cornerstone of Democracy
The First Amendment is the foundation of democratic governance, safeguarding political speech, press freedom, and the public’s right to challenge misinformation. American Rights Alliance defends these vital freedoms, ensuring that individuals and institutions remain free from censorship and governmental overreach.
Political expression lies at the heart of democracy. We work to ensure individuals can freely criticize policies, campaign for change, and hold leaders accountable, as established in landmark cases like Citizens United v. FEC (2010) and New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964). These rulings affirm the protection of political discourse and the need for actual malice to prove defamation against public officials.
We support a free and independent press, recognizing its essential role in exposing misconduct and providing the public with unbiased information. Landmark rulings like Near v. Minnesota (1931) prohibit prior restraint, enabling the press to publish without undue interference, except in rare cases involving national security.
By promoting transparency and accountability, we empower citizens to question and correct misleading narratives that threaten public trust and democratic principles.
Through litigation and public advocacy, we safeguard the rights of individuals and organizations to speak out against injustice and advocate for change without fear of retribution.
We combat governmental overreach and legal intimidation tactics that seek to silence journalists or restrict investigative reporting, ensuring that the press remains a watchdog for democratic governance.
We work to hold institutions accountable for disseminating false narratives, empowering citizens to challenge propaganda and promoting fact-based public discourse.
Freedom of speech, press independence, and the right to challenge misinformation are essential for a transparent and democratic society. These rights, protected by the First Amendment and upheld in cases like Citizens United, Sullivan, and Near, ensure that every voice can be heard, every truth can be told, and every leader can be held accountable. The American Rights Alliance is steadfast in its commitment to preserving these freedoms for all.
