Dear Press Freedom Supporter, 
 
Today, January 6, is a dark anniversary for democracy in the
U.S.-the two-year anniversary of the riot at the Capitol
building in Washington, D.C. Journalists played a critical role in
keeping the world informed that day-and paid a price.

Following the mob violence, CPJ interviewed journalists who covered
the riots. A freelance photojournalist told CPJ, "I had three
different people threaten to shoot me over the course of the day." You
can read more interviews here.

According to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, which CPJ co-founded with
partners in 2017, in the January 6 riots: 
? 18 journalists were assaulted
? Tens of thousands of dollars' worth of news equipment
were damaged
? 10 people were charged in direct connection with assaults of
journalists or destruction of equipment.
CPJ's U.S. and Canada Program Coordinator Katherine Jacobsen
wrote in January 2021 that while Trump lit the fuse, anti-media
sentiment among his supporters could outlast him.

Attacks on the press should not go unpunished, and with your support,
CPJ will continue to demand that journalists in the U.S. and around
the globe are able to do their jobs safely and without fear of
reprisal. 
 
Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,

John D. Weis
Director of Development & Outreach
