A free press keeps governments accountable and citizens informed. As a fundamental right of the people, it safeguards our democracy. But today, that right is under attack.
Journalists are being silenced for doing their jobs. Whether it’s the AP being barred from the Oval Office or government officials pressuring social media companies to censor stories they don’t like, press freedom is under constant threat.
If the government controls the news, it controls the narrative. And a country where that happens is no longer free.
That’s why FIRE is standing up for journalists and the First Amendment. We’ve fought for press freedom in courtrooms, universities, and newsrooms nationwide — and we’ve won. But we need your help.
A free press means a free America, and a free America is worth fighting for.
