Friend,

We won't back down when Donald Trump returns to the White House in January. His plan to promote FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr to agency chairman — and the attacks both men have made on the First Amendment — only underscore the vital role that Free Press will play over the next four years. Our fight against authoritarianism and the unaccountable billionaires controlling our media system has never been more critical.

To stand up to the likes of Jeff Bezos, Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg — whose media empires have put our democracy at risk — we need to raise $45,000 by the end of the year, starting with a $10,000 goal for #GivingTuesday.

To help us meet this urgent moment, a generous donor is TRIPLING every #GivingTuesday gift to Free Press starting now through midnight tomorrow. Make your first-ever gift to Free Press today: A generous donor will triple your early #GivingTuesday donation to support our efforts to fight authoritarianism and build a just and equitable media system.

Free Press has a really important role to play in the months and years ahead, and our work is already underway.

Our team has specialized skills that are needed to confront and combat the country's slide toward authoritarianism — like the hard work of attorneys and policy experts who are committed to derailing the incoming administration's attacks on free speech, stopping legislation that would give the executive branch unchecked powers to punish nonprofits and holding accountable any media outlets that try to whitewash Trump's actions.

Friend, we fought a Trump administration and the media moguls enabling it before, and we'll do it again. But we can't do it without you.

You can give to Free Press with confidence, knowing that we don't take money from business, government or political parties. So what do you say? Will you make your first gift before #GivingTuesday? Every dollar you give will go three times as far.

Thank you for giving at this critical time,

Craig & Jessica
Co-CEOs
