Free Speech Tracker
Each day, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is exercised, tested, and debated in countless ways. The Tracker is an online tool that provides a factual glimpse into the Free Speech issues across the United States. The Tracker entry map offers a large-scale visualization of national trends.
While it would be impossible to create a comprehensive catalog of all incidents, the Tracker offers a compilation and analysis of interesting and revealing ones. Collectively they tell a story about the state of speech in the United States today.
