Christopher F. Rufo
Christopher Rufo is America’s leading voice defending free speech, freedom of opinion, and the pursuit of truth on campus and in the media. A Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, he fearlessly challenges once-taboo issues—from DEI to racial preferences—and helped inspire a presidential order and legislation in 15 states. A PBS and Netflix filmmaker, he directed America Lost about three “forgotten” cities. In an age of rising censorship and even violence against open debate, Rufo shows how to confront hard issues without silencing dissent.
Free Speech in Action
The Sun Valley Policy Forum (SVPF) is a proponent of free speech. Citizens benefit when different perspectives are shared, including those with which they disagree. Society's greatest advances have been the result of debate and the clash of ideas.
SVPF speakers have expertise on a variety of issues, from the economy to the first amendment, to the rule of law. SVPF welcomes people to come learn and to help inform their opinions on the challenges impacting America today.
