The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, located in Charlottesville, Virginia, was established in 1990 to safeguard free expression in various forms. As an autonomous non-profit entity associated with the University of Virginia, the Center engages in educational and artistic programs while actively advocating for free expression in media, arts, and scholarship through legal and legislative channels.
Committed to defending diverse viewpoints, the Center's leadership, comprising individuals with differing opinions, upholds a nonpartisan and unbiased approach in addressing matters related to free expression. Through initiatives like the Jefferson Muzzle and William J. Brennan, Jr. Awards, the Center promotes awareness and recognition of organizations and individuals impacting free expression, culminating in an interactive monument celebrating the First Amendment in front of Charlottesville City Hall.
