Friend,

Last month, thousands of Free Press supporters shared their thoughts with us in our annual Summer Priorities Survey — and we wanted to share this feedback with you. Here’s what rose to the top:

What issues matter most right now?

• Attacks on journalists and threats to free speech
• Authoritarian power grabs and attacks on our communities
• Defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting

How you want to get involved:

• Getting action alerts like petitions and surveys
• Reading or watching educational content
• Calling lawmakers

Together, these results paint a clear picture: You’re deeply committed to defending press freedom, resisting authoritarian attacks on journalists and community members, and advocating for public media.

Whether you responded to the survey or are just reading about it now, you’re part of this movement. And your participation — from signing petitions to showing up at events — truly makes our work to ensure that media and technology are used for justice possible.

With gratitude,

Danny and all of us at Free Press
