December 2025 Contest!

Donate to We Are Stronger Than Censorship in December and we’ll enter you in a drawing to win a free poster from Thought Matter supporting the freedom to read. The poster proudly reads: “Free Speech Ain’t Free”

There’s a great interview from October 6, 2025 about the posters here, where Jessie McGuire, managing partner at Thought Matter explains some of the symbolism in their design:

“National symbols are not static relics but transformable tools. By riffing on the militaristic phrase ‘Freedom Isn’t Free,’ we expose the contradiction in a society that is quick to honor military sacrifice, but hesitant to protect cultural freedom. That tension feels especially urgent after last week’s speech at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, in which the president spoke of quelling ‘the enemy from within,’ casting domestic cities as battlegrounds. We believe symbols are collective property. They belong to all of us, not just to those who weaponize them in the moment. Reclaiming them is part of our role as designers: to transform visual language into a sense of belonging, imagination and resistance. Print matters because it endures. It can be carried, passed hand to hand, or pinned to a wall. In an age of surveillance and algorithmic control, the tactile represents real-world defiance. Posters are physical reminders that resistance is lived in the everyday.”

We’ll choose five winners in the US in early January 2026, and our friends at Thought Matter will ship the posters directly to each winner. 

Thanks for supporting the freedom to read by donating to We Are Stronger Than Censorship. Because together, that’s true—we are stronger than censorship.

And good luck with the contest!
