Dear Friend,

We are thrilled to announce that Free Press met our #GivingTuesdayNow goal. With a generous donor doubling every dollar our supporters gave, altogether we raised $20,000 to fight for universal access to affordable, lifesaving information.

This work couldn’t be more urgent: The communities that are most impacted by the digital divide — including low-income communities and people of color — are also bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have been working around the clock for the past six weeks to push for the changes we need now.

If you didn’t have a chance to donate during #GivingTuesdayNow, please consider making a contribution today to help us continue the fight for as long as it takes. It’s never too late to make a difference.

Here are just a few of the things your gift will support:

• Demanding an end to the digital divide once and for all.
• Stopping COVID-19 misinformation and hate from spreading unchecked on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube — and in the right-wing media.
• Fighting for a local-journalism recovery to provide the essential community-based news we all need during the pandemic and beyond.
• Advocating for the reinstatement of Net Neutrality and the FCC’s Title II authority to enforce it so that everyone has access to lifesaving information.
• Pushing the FCC to foster media-ownership diversity, and urging news outlets to cover the communities that are bearing the brunt of this pandemic.

Thank you for everything you do to support this essential work.

With gratitude,

Craig Aaron & Jessica J. González
