About the Florida Free Speech Forum
Purposes of the organization:
- To advocate, protect, and defend freedom of speech
through open dialogue.
- To provide monthly forums, seminars, and workshops at
which persons of every belief and political persuasion may
be heard and questioned.
- 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. Make a reservation for the buffet lunch held at 11:30 AM
by calling (352) 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 Archive
Page.
Radio broadcasts of Forums are the first Sunday of the month
at 11:00 AM on WUFT-FM and WJUF-FM.
