FWD: A concerning trend

Friend,
Creating change requires vigilance not just in the weeks ahead, but in the months and even years ahead.
That is why our Connectors — donors who give monthly and provide the reliable source of revenue we need throughout the year to jump on every opportunity we find and confront any threat that arises — are so essential to the work we do at Free Press.
Will you become a Free Press Connector today? Your monthly gift will go TWICE as far for 12 months thanks to a generous donor — but only if you take advantage of this offer by March 31.
Thank you,
All of us at Free Press

This month only: Start a new monthly gift and it will be MATCHED for 12 months >>

Friend,
This isn't the kind of email we like sending you, but we have to. Since last year, we've been keeping a close eye on a concerning trend: a sharp decline in our monthly donations.
Here’s why that’s bad news: Our monthly donors provide a reliable stream of funds we can count on that makes it possible to mount both rapid-response and long-term strategies to fight for a fully functional FCC, push back against dangerous legislation that would chill press freedom, fight disinformation and more.
But here’s the good news: Now through March 31, a generous donor is DOUBLING any amount you commit to giving monthly for 12 MONTHS.
Will you consider taking advantage of this matching-gift offer by becoming a Free Press Connector today? We’re also throwing in an awesome sticker pack as a way of saying thanks!

Committing to $5 or $10 a month might not sound like much on its own, but when it’s combined with *hundreds* of other grassroots contributions, AND the match from our generous donor, it really adds up. In short, these gifts make a world of difference in ensuring our team can use grassroots campaigns, groundbreaking research and direct advocacy to fight for your rights to connect and communicate.
The reality is we’re up against powerful interests like Big Cable and Big Tech, and we can’t scale up our work if we don’t have the resources — the people power — to fight back. Right now, we need 10 more of you to join us so we can reach our goal of signing up 25 new monthly Free Press Connectors by March 31.
Help us secure the resources we need to meet the urgency of this moment. Become a Free Press Connector with a monthly gift today that will go TWICE as far for 12 months.
Thank you so much for your support,
Brenda and the rest of the Free Press team
