Friend,

I wanted to make sure you saw Kimberly’s message from last week:

We’ve launched an urgent $26,500 August recess goal to prepare for an all-out fight this fall. Congress may be on break, but Trump’s allies are working overtime to silence dissent, attack free speech, and consolidate control of the news.

Give today and your gift will be matched — plus we’ll send you a free sticker as thanks.

This is our chance to get ahead of the threats — and we need you with us.

Thank you so much,

Dutch and the rest of us at Free Press Action

Friend, we’ll get right to it:

We’re launching our $26,500 August-recess fundraising goal today — because while Congress is away, Trump’s allies are working overtime to silence dissent, trample press freedom and consolidate control of the news.

They are counting on the summer lull to weaken public resistance. We cannot let that happen.

That’s why we’re mobilizing right now — during Congress’ summer recess — to gather the resources we’ll need for an all-out defense this fall. But we can’t do it without you.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make your first gift to Free Press Action, this is it. Will you help us reach our August goal? We’ll send you a free sticker as a way of saying thanks. A generous donor will double every dollar — funding the urgent work ahead.

When you give to Free Press Action, you support essential work like our recently released Media Capitulation Index, which exposes just how quickly and completely the nation’s largest media companies are caving to the Trump administration.

We did the math — here’s how we’ll put your gift to work in the fall:

• $9,500 for our ongoing policy work on Capitol Hill
• $8,000 for state-level campaigns to combat disinformation and expand local journalism
• $6,000 for events like our Future of Freedom series to protect democracy amid rising authoritarianism
• $3,000 to strengthen coalitions that amplify the fight for press freedom, privacy and so much more

Trump’s allies aren’t taking the summer off — and neither can we. If we wait until September, we’ll lose critical time. This is our moment to act with speed and purpose.

If you make your first gift now, a generous donor will double your donation and you’ll get a free sticker. Help us build the resources we need before Congress returns.

In gratitude,

Kimberly
COO/CFO
Free Press and Free Press Action

P.S. We’ve set an urgent $26,500 August recess goal to ensure we’re ready to act the moment lawmakers return. Your matched gift will help us prepare for the toughest fights. And if you give now, you’ll get a free sticker!
