I learned what it takes to apply free speech principles that hold regardless of the speaker, the viewpoint, or the moment.

An Eye-Opening Experience

Summer Internship

Meryn Dziemian joined FIRE as a summer intern in 2024, drawn to civil liberties work after a year of unrest on college campuses and intensifying national division. The internship reaffirmed her interest in law and advocacy, especially after observing FIRE staffers protecting speech for all Americans. Two years later, Meryn joined FIRE’s Strategic Partnerships team full time as a Program Associate, representing FIRE at conferences, building relationships across organizations, and helping to execute FIRE’s inaugural Soapbox Conference in 2026. Meryn most values FIRE’s principled approach to free expression and is grateful to be doing her dream job at an organization that applies it consistently.
