Hi There, In the last two weeks alone, the president escalated his attacks on the press, NBC ran a racist ad from the Trump campaign during Sunday Night Football and the Trump administration ramped up its monitoring of social media to preempt anti-government protests in the United States. The threats to our democracy are all too real, and we're doing everything we can to fight back. Thanks! Candace

Hi There, With the midterm elections behind us, Free Press is hitting the ground running as we prepare to hold the new Congress accountable and pave the way for a more just media and society. We have no time to lose: The threats against everyone’s rights to connect and communicate are ramping up. In the last two weeks alone:
NBC profited from running the Trump campaign’s racist ad during Sunday Night Football.
The Trump administration ramped up its monitoring of social media to preempt anti-government protests in the United States.
If you’re outraged right now, we’re with you. As we look to the new Congress, we need our elected officials to do more than campaign against Trump and his enablers. And we need your support as we prepare to push lawmakers to introduce powerful legislation and hold hearings on key issues. Please make your most generous gift today to fight back against the authoritarian Trump administration and hold the new Congress to the highest standard possible. Whether you give $5, $15, $25 or more, we’re grateful for every single dollar.
