fundraisers in the Your Voice, Your Freedom grassroots fundraising
campaign:

Shawnee Mission Northwest High
School
Shawnee, Kan.
Adviser: Susan Massy |
Grand Junction High School
Grand Junction, Colo.

Thanks to these schools and
dozens of others, SPLC raised more than $2,800 in the inaugural year of
the Your Voice, Your Freedom drive to help promote advocacy on behalf
of students' First Amendment rights. Each school's
publications staffs will receive a $50 pizza party to show SPLC's
appreciation for their students' energy and enthusiasm in supporting
the cause of free speech.
Your Voice, Your Freedom is a student-driven program that challenges
college and high-school journalists to tap their creativity to help
fund the not-for-profit work of the SPLC, the nation's only legal
advocacy group devoted exclusively to the rights of student
journalists. |

Last
fall, students at Lake Central High School in St. John, Ind., raised
$250 for the SPLC by selling T-shirts celebrating Constitution Day
(Sept. 17). The student newspaper, The
Scout, also dedicated its next issue to recognizing the
holiday and raising awareness of First Amendment freedoms.
