John,

One of the most dangerous things happening right now isn’t getting nearly enough attention.

Our First Amendment rights—the very foundation of American democracy—are under attack.

Here’s what’s happening. The government is:

📢 Pressuring private universities to change their academic programs.
📰 Threatening media outlets that don’t use its preferred language.
🎭 Seizing control of cultural institutions because it doesn’t like the plays and performances being put on.

This is not just about politics.

This is about whether Americans will continue to have the right to think, speak, and express themselves freely—without fear of government retaliation.

If we ignore this now, what’s next?

We need your help. Our democracy depends on protecting free speech. Can Steve count on you to chip in $10 or more today to stand up for these fundamental rights?

As Secretary of State, Steve believes in leading with the truth. That means calling out these threats and fighting back.

But he can’t do this alone. We need to build a movement to protect democracy and free speech before it’s too late. Every dollar you donate helps us push back against this dangerous agenda. Chip in any amount now →

Thanks for standing with us.

Team Simon
