Free Speech Union

Diane from Epuni

Hi Neighbours, I am wondering whether people know about the Free Speech Union. It began in 2018 when they challenged the Mayor of Auckland who banned people whose views he disliked. This is still happening in some situations, lobby groups work to prevent alternative views from being heard by getting events cancelled. The Free Speech Union stand up for the right of people to attend such events to hear what the speaker has to say. Those lobby groups would be horrified if their event was cancelled because others didn’t share their opinions. Every speaker deserves to be heard by those who want to listen.

The Free Speech Union promote Free Speech for all and the right for people to hold their own views - even if they are not the popular views. They do not promote any particular views or support and particular group but they do support people who have been 'punished' for disagreeing with some ideology.
Discussing a difference of opinion/views in a respectful way is healthy - it's not hate speech. We must all accept that not everyone will agree with us but we are all entitled to hold and share our own opinions.
