Dear Press Freedom Supporter, 
 
When this year started, CPJ was assisting journalists with financial
grants, offering safety guidance in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Iran, and
Myanmar, and addressing safety concerns for journalists affected by
Russia's war in Ukraine. That is something we were able to do
because you supported our work through these sustained and mounting
press freedom crises.

Many of the requests we received were for exile support, as it becomes
increasingly dangerous for journalists to continue reporting in their
home country. In fact, CPJ's support for journalists in exile
has increased by 227% in just three years.

But there are other ways CPJ's Emergencies team works to keep
journalists safe. Safety advisories we issue amid a major weather
event or other emergencies can help journalists understand safety best
practices while reporting. Online workshops with newsrooms and
freelance journalists, as well as one-on-one safety consultations with
CPJ's experts, equip journalists with life-saving information so
they can prepare for and respond to incidents they may face on the
job. Financial and non-financial support-be it grants for
medical or psychosocial support, or basic survival needs following an
incident-are all part of the toolkit we use to keep journalists
safe. And in the past few years, our financial support for journalists
in need of assistance has more than doubled.

This year, in fact, CPJ has provided financial and non-financial
assistance to at least 584 journalists from 59 countries, support we
could not provide amid these urgent requests without your help. 

Now, as the Israel-Gaza war proves to be the deadliest period for
journalists since we began tracking journalist killings in
1992-with more journalists killed in three months of this war
than in all of last year globally-the urgency of your support
has never been more prominent.

Please join me today and help CPJ defend journalists who risk their
lives to bring us the news

. Your support means the world to journalists who need us now more
than ever.
Thank you so much for your help.
Lucy Westcott
Emergencies Director
