The 19th Amendment was ratified 100 years ago this week.

The First Amendment protects some of our most important democratic rights: freedom of speech, religion, assembly, petition, and the press.

It’s also the amendment that inspired the name of this show.

Freedom Forum is a nonprofit focused on protecting first amendment rights. This week they published a report on how Americans view the First Amendment ahead of the 2024 election.

Over 90 percent of those surveyed said they believe the amendment is vital. But a declining number say they would ratify it today if it were up to them.
