CELEBRATION IDEAS

• Partner with Free Speech Week. Free Speech Week (FSW) is a yearly event to raise public awareness of the importance of free speech in our democracy- and to celebrate that freedom. As freedom of speech is a right all American’s share, this non-partisan, non-ideological event is intended to be a unifying celebration. Community Media Day will always fall on October 20, which will almost always fall during Free Speech Week. Community Media Day is a Free Speech Week partner and you should be too.
