Time is closing in on the PRESS Act
Donald Trump may have called on Republicans to kill the PRESS Act, but it’s not too late for him to reconsider — or for the PRESS Act to pass. The bipartisan bill would be the most important press freedom legislation in modern history and safeguard journalist-source confidentiality — regardless of politics. That’s precisely why lawmakers from Sen. Chuck Schumer to Rep. Jim Jordan support it.
Call or email your member of Congress and urge them to support the PRESS Act before time runs out. Federal law should protect journalists and sources who expose newsworthy information the public needs to know.
Gifts for the journalist in your life
