Welcome to the First Amendment Voice (FAV) initiative website. We intend to update you on what our stakeholders are doing to “Reinvigorate citizens to claim, protect and exercise the rights espoused in the 1st Amendment throughout US society through a pluralistic, collaborative campaign of education and advocacy,” along the lines of FAV Education, Faith Group Initiatives, and Media/Communications.
A couple of requests for you:
- If you know of other colleagues or organizations who would like to join our email distribution, please forward this link to them if they would like to get routine updates.
- If you have activities planned that you would like the rest of the network to be aware of, please let us know. We would love to help you raise awareness about First Amendment issues if you feel the subject matter would be appropriate for your events.
- If you would like to take advantage of faith leader training with respect to FAV principles, please let us know. We have begun a pilot program with a select group of clergy and will continue to refine the process and roll it out on a broader basis.
- If you plan to celebrate September 17th (Constitution Day and Citizenship Day) in any way, please let us know. We would like to help broadcast any events that are open to the public and amplify them if that helps you broaden the appeal of your programs. We plan to mark the day with an event this year in the hope of starting a tradition that will contribute to our vision of “Americans understanding and exercising the rights espoused in the 1st Amendment as responsible citizens and therefore advocating for the protection of those rights for all.” More details to come
