| Friend,
A lot has changed since Free Press was founded in 2003 — nearly 20 years ago! But through it all, one theme has remained constant: We go wherever the fight takes us.
Just look at 2022 alone: Our Co-CEO Jessica J. González met directly with former Twitter CEO Elon Musk (!!!) and other civil-rights leaders to demand election-integrity measures and real content-moderation policies. Our legal team filed a brief in the U.S. Supreme Court’s case Gonzalez v. Google, urging justices to preserve Section 230, a law that lowers barriers to people sharing their own content online. The groundbreaking new model for sustainable local journalism we developed in New Jersey has distributed millions of dollars in grants — and we're working to replicate the model in other states across the country so quality local journalism doesn’t become a relic of the past. Trust me, we’ll continue to do whatever it takes to challenge powerful corporations, influence policymakers, raise public awareness and mobilize millions in 2023 — but we can’t do it alone. Will you consider making your very first gift to Free Press before the end of the year? Remember, a group of generous donors is matching every donation through 12/31, so your gift today goes 2x as far. DOUBLE YOUR GIFT Thank you so much for your support at a critical time,
Candace and the rest of the Free Press team

P.S. We don't take a single dollar from business, government or political parties — our independence is too important. That means that all of our progress and wins are made possible through the generous support of people like you. Make a year-end gift that goes 2x as far to keep our work going strong. |
