| Last week, most of the Free Press team gathered in person in Washington, D.C., to reflect on our accomplishments as we celebrated 20+ years of Free Press and planned for the future.
It was energizing and inspiring, but it was also a stark reminder of how many tough fights we’ve taken on — and the even-tougher fights that lie ahead. Trump is once again the official Republican presidential nominee. Our broken media system is already normalizing his authoritarian-style campaign. Social-media platforms are very clearly failing to protect democracy and public safety ahead of November.
I’m just scratching the surface. But how quickly we can scale up our response to fight back depends on supporters like you, friend. That’s why a generous donor has committed to DOUBLE every new monthly gift for 12 months.
We’re so grateful you’re a part of our community, Friend. Will you start a recurring gift to take advantage of this special match offer and help Free Press meet this urgent moment? By donating monthly as a Connector — along with the hundreds of others who chip in a little bit each month — you provide us with the reliable funding Free Press needs to budget for future campaigns. We’ll also send you an exclusive Connector sticker pack! Setting up your monthly gift as a Connector TODAY means twice the impact per month on our work to: - Hold media companies and social-media platforms accountable for amplifying disinformation, harmful narratives and hate
- Help revive local journalism
- Expand access to affordable high-speed internet
We rely on contributions from grassroots donors like you because we don't take a cent from business, government or political parties. Our independence is too important, so every dollar you commit to giving per month makes a difference — especially when it will have twice the impact. Be one of the 50 people who start a monthly gift by March 31 to sustain our essential work in the months ahead. Thank you so much for your support,
Kimberly
