Dear Friend,
From day one, the Trump administration has launched an aggressive assault on the free, independent press in the United States. The fate of American democracy and journalists’ ability to work without fear are intertwined. CPJ has noted a significant increase in the number of newsrooms seeking safety advice, concerned that the changing national political environment could threaten their ability to report without fear of retribution from authorities.
Your support is urgently needed to help protect the journalists who keep us informed and help keep democracy alive.
We’re counting on you.
