| Friend — Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday ... but our movement has way too much to fight for to wait to officially launch our $25,000 matching-gift goal.
Together, we just achieved a truly historic victory — securing $65 billion (with a B!) to make high-speed internet more affordable for millions of people. Now, we need a fully functioning FCC to put that funding to work, prioritize people over profits, right the wrongs of the Trump presidency and so much more.
But we need all the help we can get to reach our #GivingTuesday goal by midnight tomorrow. Please make your first-ever contribution to Free Press today while your gift will go THREE TIMES as far to fuel our urgent work. The pandemic has illuminated the urgency of our work to connect everyone to the internet.
Black, Brown and low-income communities have tragically borne the brunt of the collision between the digital divide and the health crisis — our nation’s systemic injustices and inequities became much harder to ignore.And as vaccine disinformation contributed to countless deaths, the danger posed by propaganda has been felt acutely.
One result of the tragedies of the past 20 months is that in Washington, D.C., there is now a greater understanding of how important issues like access to truthful information are — and there is more political will to actually do something about it than at any other time in Free Press’ history.
We need your help to make the most of the opportunity this provides to fight for policies in 2022 that can truly transform the lives of Black, Brown and low-income communities. Donate NOW while your #GivingTuesday gift will go THREE TIMES as far to drive lasting change.
We need the full force of our movement behind us in this moment. And we need you to remember that everything we achieve is thanks to supporters like you.
Free Press doesn’t take a single dollar from business, government or political parties, because our independence is simply too important. That means that your #GivingTuesday donation — a donation that will be TRIPLED — is truly critical to our ability to drive real change. Thank you for everything you have done — and continue to do — for our movement.
In solidarity,
Jessica J. González

P.S. You make our movement powerful. Because of you our names are well known in the halls of Congress and the boardrooms of companies like Facebook (I’m sorry, I mean Meta….). Thanks to you, we were able to secure $65 billion for affordable and accessible broadband in the infrastructure bill. But right now, we need your help to push through as much lasting change as possible. Please donate now to triple your #GivingTuesday impact on our movement.  |
