Dear John,
Free, independent media plays an essential role in the open exchange of ideas and upholding democratic values. Authoritarian governments know this, which is why they so often attack freedom of speech and expression. These attacks are one of the primary drivers of the 17 consecutive years of democratic decline identified in our annual Freedom in the World.
The journalists telling truth to power are under attack, and they need your help. Make a gift to Freedom House today to promote and protect democracy and freedom of expression around the world.

Freedom House's work to support a free press spans the globe and bolsters the work of countless journalists and media organizations.
Our latest report sheds light on how authoritarian regimes reach beyond their borders to attack, intimidate, and detain journalists in an effort to control information and stamp out dissent. We also recently announced Free Them All: The Fred Hiatt Program to Free Political Prisoners, an initiative to free detained individuals and challenge the unjust imprisonment of journalists, human rights defenders, and pro-democracy activists.

You can help too. Donate to Freedom House to help journalists continue their essential work and shine a light on the threats they face.

With gratitude,
Mike Abramowitz
