Dear John,

Every day, people around the world rely on a free and open internet—to connect with loved ones, access life-saving information, and power the global economy. But for the 14th consecutive year in 2024, global internet freedom declined. Governments are censoring independent news sources, arresting people for expressing themselves, and surveilling critical voices.

Since 2009, Freedom House’s Freedom on the Net report has been the world’s most trusted resource on internet freedom, shaping government policies, responsible business practices, and advocacy efforts worldwide. But today, its future is at risk. Without urgent support, we may not be able to continue providing this essential research and fighting back against growing threats to a free and open internet.

Your support is crucial. Will you help us protect internet freedom with a gift today?

Together, we can ensure that Freedom on the Net remains a powerful tool for holding governments and corporations accountable—so that all people can be free, both online and offline.

With gratitude,
