Students for Free Speech York U - SFS YorkU

We are a non-partisan free speech club with an emphasis on open dialogue between political ideologies and matters of personal freedom. We are a group of students who care about facilitating free and responsible discourse. Standing by the ideas of former ACLU President Nadine Strossen, SFS stands against censorship, believing that the best way to go forward is to allow for more discourse than one-s

ided action on any side. At SFS, we hope to provide students a safe space where ideals are challenged, never berated or silenced. SFS hosts a variety of events to do with the use of responsible and free speech, some which are open debates, speaker panels and movie screenings - all of which, put the use of responsible use of free speech at the centre. SFS also stands strongly in support of the people of countries where Free Speech has been targeted, censored or even banned. We always host events in the case that a censorship laws are passed in any and all countries and regions. If you are looking for a place where ideas, notions and ideologies are debated, discussed and challenged, and where you can stand against censorship and to protect the fundamental human rights of freedom of speech, we would love to have you.
