Dear John,
Every day, in every corner of the world, the right to speak and the right to know are under siege. Censorship tightens. Surveillance expands. Trust erodes. But for nearly 40 years ARTICLE 19 has been on the frontlines, fighting back.
Across 9 global regions, our teams have overturned weak laws, strengthened protections, and empowered courageous individuals to challenge repression.
We are the shield against the ruthless forces that seek to silence, and the collective voice that ensures truth prevails. Across 9 global regions, our teams have empowered courageous individuals to challenge repression, overturned weak laws, and strengthened protections.
But now, a major threat is upon us. US funding freezes have struck a devastating blow to this global fight. Individuals who dare to speak are facing death and imprisonment. Key protections are at risk. And without urgent action, we may be forced to dismantle initiatives that millions depend on — weakening digital inclusion, media freedom, and privacy, for people everywhere.
We cannot let that happen. And we won’t—if you stand with us.
In 2023 alone, we provided over GBP 3 million to nearly 70 grassroots organisations on the free expression frontlines, across our 9 global regions. This is what impact looks like.
And with your help, we will go even further.
