Free Speech Coalition FSC
The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) was founded in 1991. It´s the trade association of the adult entertainment industry based in the United States. The mission is to protect the rights and freedoms of both the workers and businesses in the adult industry.
The organization functions as a resource, an advocate, and a leader for the communities that we serve. Take pride in fighting to alleviate the social stigma, misinformation, and discriminatory policies that affect those who work in and adjacent to the adult industry.
Though the adult industry is often used as a scapegoat for society’s ills, the industry is made of workers who deserve the same liberties, freedoms, and opportunities as any other worker or business owner in this country. Despite the stigma we face as an industry, the resilient and powerful communities have been able to survive and thrive even in the face of discrimination and harassment.
Over the organization’s 30-year history, it has fought for the rights of producers, distributors, performers and consumers of adult entertainment and pleasure products through battles in the legislature, the courts, regulatory agencies, at the ballot box and in the press.
The history of advocacy, litigation and legislation around adult entertainment and sexual rights is as old as the medium itself. Although FSC views litigation as a last resort, it has not hesitated to take serious, swift action when required, in order to defend the rights of its members.
