Free Speech Defence Fund

Your support powers rapid action to stop ‘hate speech’ laws before they land in New Zealand. 

Australia has rushed through sweeping new “anti-hate” laws. And within hours, New Zealand’s Race Relations Commissioner signalled there may be “room for expanding” hate speech laws here too.

This is not hypothetical. If free speech is going to survive the next wave of attacks on our rights, we must be ready right now.

We’ve fought this off before - and with your support, we’ll fight it off again.

Contribute to the Free Speech Defence Fund.

Your contribution funds the practical work that actually stops bad law:

• rapid legal analysis and public submissions
• media work that cuts through the “no one decent would oppose this?” framing
• coalition building, so it’s not just “FSU says…”

Free speech is a right you only notice when it’s gone – and right now, it’s under threat.

Thank you for standing with us for this crucial freedom.
