It’s hard to believe that it was just four weeks ago that we entered a new era of incredible opportunity for justice and progressive priorities — one that Mitch McConnell is determined to end in just two years.

Free Press knows how quickly momentum for real change can fade in a time when there are so many crises, and so much suffering.

We’re working nonstop to close the digital divide and demand real commitment from media and tech companies to fight propaganda and extremism. Will you donate today to help us fight with all we’ve got for real change?

Through years of building relationships with like-minded organizations and lawmakers, Free Press has earned a seat at the table for the debates that matter.

Here are just a few of the actions Free Press has taken since Joe Biden entered the White House:

• We testified before Congress to call for ending the digital divide now — when access to truthful information can literally save lives.
• We gave forceful testimony to the Facebook Oversight Board as it considers whether to unlock Trump’s account or make its ban permanent.
• We’ve met with Acting FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel to discuss a progressive agenda to win back Net Neutrality, push for affordable internet access and address the dire lack of media-ownership opportunities for women and people of color.
• We organized with our allies to urge the White House to confirm a 5th FCC commissioner so that the agency can get to work.

Will you donate today to help Free Press carry on this critical work, build on our momentum and make the case for justice?

Thanks to you, our movement succeeded in getting Trump banned from Twitter, in building strong provisions for affordable internet into December’s COVID-19 relief bill, and in getting Parler kicked off services from Amazon, Apple and Google.

All of these successes happened just this past month — and they all were made possible by the kind of actions we listed above. Giving testimony and holding meetings. Providing drafts of legislation and of effective anti-hate tech policies.

Please donate today — now is the time to push for lasting change, and we don’t have a moment to waste.

Thank you for everything you do to help build a just and equitable media system: one that will never again be used as a tool of oppression.

In solidarity,
