Stand Up for Freedom of the Press!

We condemn threats to freedom of the press. We demand that government officials allow journalists to do their jobs – ask questions, gather information, and report the truth.

We condemn attempts to intimidate and demonize reporters, and we condemn attempts to undermine legitimate reporting by promoting fake news. These actions threaten our democratic ideals.

We affirm the fundamental right to freedom of the press and to the right of the American people to be informed.
