First Amendment Rights Preservation Society, Inc.
DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH RIGHTS OF THE OPPRESSED
A dark cloud has arisen on America's 1st Amendment rights and they are under attack . It's time to fight back.
Founded in early 2020 by Greg Hyver, the First Amendment Rights Preservation Society, Inc., or FARPS, is a nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Santa Cruz, California, that is committed to defending the spirit and laws that protect our most sacred right: the right to free speech. We are an organization of patriotic activists who use tools of activism to educate the public and advocate against those who abuse the freedom of speech rights of the weak and powerless. Our focus is on finding ways to remove speech barriers set up by local, state, national (and international) government entities to enable the oppressed to have an equal voice in the public forum without fear of consequences.
Disclaimer: FARPS does not endorse political candidates or take positions on ballot measures. Nevertheless, we do propose ideas in the field of democratic systems that we feel advance and protect the free speech rights of all Americans.

DON RODRIGUE INDUCTED AS HONORARY MEMBER
April 15, 2023 (Tax Day) - FARPS is pleased to announce that it has inducted Don Rodrigue as an honorary member of the First Amendment Rights Preservation Society for his determination and courage to stand up to government and corporate collusion which continues to deny Americans their free speech rights. In conjunction with this honor, Don becomes the new Bureau Chief of our Louisiana Chapter.
Sadly, Don must fight for free speech from out of his wheel chair due to his lifelong battle with Muscular Dystrophy. We met Don when he interviewed the FARPS founder, Greg Hyver, in August of 2022--an interview that was promptly removed from YouTube for no explainable reason. Here is what Don had to say to us following its expulsion:
"I'm not really worried about YouTube, because I have that memory of accomplishment forever. Doing this, however, has given me thoughts of what I want to accomplish. I want to do more against censorship and for our freedom of speech. While other platforms like Rumble (which I already use) are great, we still shouldn't be forced into that corner...I'm considering on taking some online classes in journalism and such. When I started on Twitch 7 years ago, it was just to fight my anxiety and depression because I try to keep myself busy at all times. Now its grown into so much more. I have made so many good friends, created a brand for myself, found calmness for myself when I do stream and reach some of my dreams. So I'll be damned if I let anything "cancel" me or my opinion."
We couldn't have said it any better ourselves, Don. Words of a true American! And we like your cool sunglasses.
