Thanks to the First Amendment, censorship of the press is unconstitutional in the U.S. However, journalists have been silenced across the country recently. We can't lose this vital right. Join us and sign the petition to protect the freedom of the press. Here are just a few of the incidents that have set off alarm bells for us: - In October in Alabama, two journalists were arrested on charges of disclosing leaked information following a story written about an investigation into the local Board of Education's alleged mishandling of COVID relief funds.
- In March in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, officials were caught on tape discussing how to kill two local journalists who reported on incidents that may have "cast the sheriff's office in an unfavorable light."
- In an attempt by government authorities to suppress the media's ability to report the news and hold those in power accountable, two journalists in Asheville, North Carolina, were prosecuted for reporting on police evicting a homeless encampment.
- Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and other prominent Republicans are eager to overturn long-standing Supreme Court precedent that has empowered journalists to investigate and criticize public figures.
We know that a free and independent press is a necessity of democracy. The press allows us, the public, to be informed and engaged, so we can hold our government accountable. These repeated and brazen attacks on the First Amendment are unacceptable. Join us and sign the petition now to secure the right to freedom of the press.
