John,

As 2023 comes to a close, we wanted to highlight a concerning trend we’ve noticed: the freedom of the press has come under attack this year. Thanks to the First Amendment, censorship of the press is unconstitutional in the U.S. However, journalists have been silenced across the country recently.

We can’t lose this vital right. Join us and sign the petition to protect the freedom of the press. [[link removed]]

Here are just a few of the incidents that have set off alarm bells for us:

*
In
October
in
Alabama,
two
journalists
were
arrested
on
charges
of
disclosing
leaked
information
following
a
story
written
about
an
investigation
into
the
local
Board
of
Education’s
alleged
mishandling
of
COVID
relief
funds.
*
In
March
in
McCurtain
County,
Oklahoma,
officials
were
caught
on
tape
discussing
how
to
kill
two
local
journalists
who
reported
on
incidents
that
may
have
"cast
the
sheriff’s
office
in
an
unfavorable
light.”
*
In
an
attempt
by
government
authorities
to
suppress
the
media's
ability
to
report
the
news
and
hold
those
in
power
accountable,
two
journalists
in
Asheville,
North
Carolina,
were
prosecuted
for
reporting
on
police
evicting
a
homeless
encampment.
*
Donald
Trump,
Ron
DeSantis,
and
other
prominent
Republicans
are
eager
to
overturn
long-standing
Supreme
Court
precedent
that
has
empowered
journalists
to
investigate
and
criticize
public
figures.

We know that a free and independent press is a necessity of democracy. The press allows us, the public, to be informed and engaged, so we can hold our government accountable.

These repeated and brazen attacks on the First Amendment are unacceptable. Join us and sign the petition now to secure the right to freedom of the press. [[link removed]]
