| Friend,
With new attacks from the Trump administration and large corporate interests looking to consolidate more and more power, a lot of our supporters have asked us one question: What’s next?
The answer is simple: We keep fighting.
For us, yes, it means holding strong to our commitment to Net Neutrality and taking this battle to the states — maybe even to the Supreme Court. But we’re also fighting across other fronts — and we’re counting on your generous donation right now to take it all on.
With your donation, we will: Continue pressuring companies like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to shut down hate on their platforms by adopting our model corporate policies. Push our proposal for a tax on targeted online ads to respond to the crisis in journalism and fund diverse, local and independent sources of news and information. Pressure Congress to hold the FBI accountable and stop the Trump administration from spying on Black activists. Create real solutions for local journalism across the country — bringing together reporters, activists and community members to build plans on how to create and fund engaged local media. Give you the tools you need to have some difficult conversations at the holiday dinner table with those family members who are still watching Fox News. I’ll be honest with you: There have been times this year where it’s felt like whiplash — having to pivot at every turn to deal with the next crisis and fight back against the next big threat to a free and open internet.
But you’ve helped achieve some really important victories, and I need to know that you’ll be standing with us in 2020 when the stakes get even higher during a volatile and contentious election year.
We need your support to keep this fight going. Please make a gift right now to fund this work. Our democracy depends on it.
Thank you for all that you do.
