Dear Press Freedom Supporter,

When a journalist is killed, others hear the message. If no one is held responsible, the killers are emboldened and the violence repeats.

That is why we do what we do—and why CPJ is committed to fighting for justice.

For more than a decade, CPJ has waged a Global Campaign Against Impunity. When a journalist is murdered, we talk to local authorities, the journalist’s family, and other local media, and highlight the case in our work. We conduct advocacy around each murder, including calling on government officials to bring the killers to justice. And we publish our annual Impunity Index, which spotlights countries where journalists are slain and their killers go free.

Just this year, advocacy by CPJ and our partners has helped win convictions in the murders of eight journalists.

We will continue fighting on behalf of journalists under threat, but we can’t do it without you. Stand with us and call for justice. Your year-end gift can help defend journalists all over the world who risk everything to bring us the news.

Thank you so much for your support.

John D. Weis
Director of Development & Outreach
