Dear John,
Amid a growing authoritarian threat, Freedom House is a beacon of hope to all those fighting for democratic principles and human dignity. Standing up to the authoritarian assault on freedom and democracy is the challenge of our era, and how we respond will determine the survival of freedom for generations to come. As our work in 2025 shows, Freedom House is prepared to rise to the moment.
Join Presidents Gerardo Berthin and Annie Boyajian as they look back at Freedom House’s work and impact in 2025.
