The Media Research Center is proud to recognize President Donald Trump and several members of his administration during the 21st annual Free Speech Week for their unwavering commitment to defending the First Amendment and confronting one of the greatest threats to our constitutional Republic: the Biden administration’s whole-of-society approach to censorship.
