New Voices is a nonpartisan, grassroots, student-driven effort to create state-based student free press protections and to prevent retaliation against advisers who stand up for student free press rights. As of today, there are currently New Voices laws in 16 states: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. New legislation is being introduced this year in a number of additional states as well. New Voices has been endorsed by the American Bar Association, the American Society of News Editors, the Society of Professional Journalists, the Student Press Law Center, the Journalism Education Association, National Council of Teachers of English, and the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.
