Welcome to the Florida Free Speech Forum, Inc

Welcome to The Florida Free Speech Forum

of Gainesville, FL 

 
"I say there can be no safety for these states without free tongues and ears willing to hear the tongues." 

Walt Whitman
  The Purposes of this organization are: 
 
  1. To advocate, protect, and defend freedom of speech through open dialogue. 
  1. To provide monthly forums, seminars, and workshops at which persons of every belief and political persuasion may be heard and questioned.  
  1. To provide a platform for the rational examination of public issues and community concerns, particularly those of social, political, economic, cultural, and environmental importance to Florida. 
As an expression of the rational examination of ideas through free speech, the Florida Free Speech Forum, Inc., seeks the enhancement of life and freedom.  This organization is open to public participation and endorses a belief in open and constructive dialogue.

Programs are led by guest speakers on various subjects.  Speakers are granted 30 minutes for presentation, followed by an additional 30 minute question and response session, on the subjects that are presented.  Views expressed by the speakers reflect their views, not those of the Forum.  The Forum's programs with speakers are at noon on the second Monday of each month at the Paramount Plaza Hotel and Conference Center at 2900 SW 13th Street. A buffet lunch is served at 11:30 A.M. and you must make a reservation to attend by calling 335-3938 by the Thursday before the Forum. The presentations begin promptly at noon. Video tapes of these programs are available for loan from the Free Speech Forum Library. Radio broadcasts are monthly on WUFT-FM. You may listen to online broadcasts of our current programs on the WUFT Archive Page. Go to the web site at http://www.wuftfm.org/archive/ and click on the program you would like to hear. Other forums which may be of interest are also available on the Archive Page.

Additional meetings include informal luncheons and evening conversations on a variety of current topics.  Members are invited to participate actively in planning and coordinating programs.  Suggestions for speakers and topics are welcome.
