Friend,

Every day at Free Press, my job is to make sure we have the resources to take on powerful media and tech companies and help build the media system we deserve. That’s why I’m writing to you as we head into the final stretch of our year-end campaign.

We’re proud that Free Press doesn’t take a single penny from business, government or political parties. Our independence is our greatest strength — it’s what allows our team to call out billionaires, challenge Trump’s censors and push for bold reforms without worrying about who we might offend.

But that independence also means we rely on people like you. We’ve set a $50,000 year-end goal to fuel our work in 2026, and right now a generous donor is doubling every tax-deductible gift through Dec. 31. Will you make your first tax-deductible gift to Free Press today while every dollar is doubled?

When we expose media-consolidation schemes or call out the billionaires who are capitulating to Trump, we do it knowing that we’re free of corporate influence — made possible only because thousands of grassroots donors choose to support us year after year.

What we raise before the end of the year will directly shape what we can take on in 2026 — from fighting censorship at the FCC and rebuilding public media to strengthening local journalism and challenging the data-center and surveillance infrastructure being built in our communities.

Hitting our $50,000 goal means we can say “yes” to more of the urgent work this moment demands. Will you make your first donation to Free Press today to fuel our bold work in 2026? A generous donor will double your gift.

With gratitude,

Kimberly Longey
