Friend,
When governments threaten journalists, defund public media and turn regulators into anti-democratic enforcers, they’re not just going after one outlet or one late-night show — they’re trying to control what any of us are allowed to know, say or see.
In my years at Free Press, I’ve seen how powerful interests bend the media to their will when they think no one is watching.
But Free Press is always watching. This year, we’ve challenged Trump’s FCC when it veered into censorship, fought runaway media consolidation, stood with public-media stations and local-news advocates and helped people connect the dots between these battles and the future of our democracy.
We’re not only opposing bad deals and bad decisions — we’re working with communities to build something better.
That’s why I hope you’ll think of your tripled gift before midnight as an investment in free speech, in the media system we deserve and in the kind of multiracial democracy we all deserve. We’ve set a $50,000 year-end goal, and for these final hours, a generous donor is TRIPLING every tax-deductible donation.
Will you make your first gift to Free Press by midnight? Every dollar will be tripled.
Your support powers the essential work that rarely makes headlines: filing the briefs that slow or stop a merger, urging lawmakers to fund independent journalism and giving reporters and communities tools to push back when the censors come knocking. Those aren’t quick wins — they’re long-term investments in a media system that serves people instead of power.
If you believe that honest journalism and free speech are non-negotiable, this is a moment to invest in that belief — while your gift can still go three times as far.
With gratitude,
Craig Aaron
Co-CEO
Free Press
