Happy National Free Speech Week! Echoes of the First Amendment reminds us that freedom of expression isn’t just history, rather it’s a promise we must protect today. From George Washington to the Supreme Court, their voices echo that free speech is a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy.

We all want to live in safe communities, but scapegoating and penalizing people with mental health concerns won’t make us any safer. North Carolinians need real solutions to providing for the ongoing mental health needs of all residents, not punitive actions that keep people in custody longer.
