Dear Friend, 

As we close the books on 2021, I need your support to safeguard the future of free speech. The sanctity of the First Amendment and the freedom to write. 

DEFEND FREE SPEECH

We’ve seen unprecedented battles this year over what can be taught and read in classrooms. Online mobs are attacking writers with hate and vitriol. Disinformation is threatening our discourse and prolonging the pandemic. The right to protest, dissent, and report the news are in the crosshairs. 

So as you settle down to see off the old year and ring in what we hope will be a better 2022, please give what you can. Commit to protecting the freedom to write with us. 

Thanks for your commitment, and for reminding us why we do what we do.
