About Us
Unsilenced Majority is a grassroots conservative advocacy organization opposed to cancel culture in all forms. We strongly believe that corporate censorship, thought-policing and politically motivated blacklists and boycotts are having a corrosive effect on our country and will ultimately lead to a less free world. We also believe that freedom of speech and diversity of thought are fundamental bedrocks of a free society and should always be protected and celebrated. Unsilenced Majority speaks for an emboldened majority of Americans who recognize the imminent threat that cancel culture poses to our nation.The rising intolerance of cancel culture is breeding fear and paranoia in our politics, across the corporate world, at our children’s schools and even in our neighborhoods. It must be stopped. Unsilenced Majority aims to harness grassroots opposition to fight back against cancel culture before it’s too late. Join the movement today and learn more about our cause below.
