Friend,

I’ll start with the bad news first: We fell short of our Connector goal of inspiring 50 new people to join us as monthly donors.

But here’s the good news: We fell short of our goal by just 9 donations, and our generous donor has agreed to extend their matching-gift offer for one more day!

That means you can still double your impact on our work by starting a monthly gift as a Free Press Action Connector by midnight tonight.

Right now we’re balancing a range of crucial priorities in our work. From holding social-media platforms accountable for the scourge of disinformation and hate to sounding the alarm when media networks let Trump spread lies unchecked to ensuring people can stay connected to affordable high-speed internet, we can’t afford to fall short of a goal as important as this one.

So what do you say, friend? Please start a monthly gift as a Free Press Action Connector today, and a generous donor will match your contribution for 12 months.

Remember, because we don’t take a single dollar from business, government or political parties, everything we achieve is thanks to grassroots support from people like you.

Thank you for giving what you can today,

Brenda and the rest of the Free Press Action team

P.S. Any amount you can commit to giving monthly — $5, $10 or $25 — really adds up when you factor in our generous donor’s matching-gift offer. Don’t miss your chance to have 2x the impact on our work by midnight.
