Media: Murder Is Not An Excuse to Crack Down on Free Speech

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, conservative figures are calling for people to be fired, punished, or stripped of licenses for their comments—any speech deemed disrespectful of his death. AP reports dozens have already lost jobs over social media posts. 

This is a dangerous escalation. When speech alone becomes grounds for professional ruin, it threatens the basic right to disagree—and chills free expression across the board.

Add your name to demand that media outlets condemn this crackdown on speech—and report the full story: political violence should never justify silencing dissent.
