    Well no. Freedom to assemble is entirely different from free speech. Both are protected by the First Amendment.

      The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States protects:

      • The right to speak, specifically the right to political speech and to be critical of the administration or its officers
      • The right to practice religion (right now this is being used to override other rights and duties)
      • The right to publish, as per above
      • The right to assemble with others
      • The right to petition your representatives in office for redress of grievances.

      When Justice Amy Coney Barrett was being reviewed for her bench position, she couldn’t remember the last one.

      But Pepperidge Farm remembers.

        The first amendment of the US is not the definition of free speech. People in other parts of the world also have the right to free speech, and it has nothing to do with the US constitution. I know it sounds crazy to you, but there’s countries other than the US.
