Friend,

This week, we launched our Democracy Watch Fund with a goal of securing 100 donations by midnight TONIGHT to fuel our work fighting disinformation, holding the media accountable and calling out rising authoritarianism.

The truth is, we’re still falling short of our goal with just hours to go until midnight.

The good news is that it’s not too late to make up the difference.

If just a quarter of the people reading this email make a donation, we’ll close (and surpass!) the gap quickly. There's never been a better time to become a Free Press Action donor: Make a gift to our Democracy Watch Fund by midnight and help us reach our goal.

We’re committed to staying independent, which is why we don't take a cent from business, government or political parties.

So we mean it when we say that donations from folks like you make a huge difference in our ability to reach our fundraising goals — and stay on the path to building the tech and media system we need to support a thriving and multiracial democracy.

And when we say we’re falling behind this month’s goal, we really mean that, too.

Could you rush your first donation to Free Press Action and our Democracy Watch Fund to help us close the gap?

Thank you so much for helping us reach our July goal — and for all you do to support Free Press Action.

Brenda and the rest of the Free Press Action team
