Free Speech Champions was initiated by Inaya Folarin Iman and developed in collaboration with the Free Speech Union and the Battle of Ideas charity. Inaya formed a network of young people who share her passion for freedom and after long discussions and lots of late nights, the Free Speech Champions project was born. It was launched on 18 February 2021.
The network is for people of all ages, whose work, beliefs or passions involve or require the protection and fostering of free speech and are interested in organising for its defence.
