Urgent: We need your help.

Instead of being with his family this Christmas, our Founder & CEO is fighting deportation. Not for a crime, but for what CCDH does: protecting kids online, fighting antisemitism, and making the internet safer. Please donate today to help us face this new threat. ([link removed])

Dear Friend,

Just after midnight, as Christmas began in the United States, a federal judge stepped in to temporarily stop the U.S. State Department from detaining Imran Ahmed, our CEO and Founder, in an effort to deport him.

Detain? Deport? You read it right.

Instead of spending Christmas with his wife and young child, Imran is fighting an unconstitutional, and un-American, attempt to deport him for doing his life’s work: protecting children from social media harm, exposing antisemitism, and holding powerful tech companies accountable.

As Imran said:

“America is a great nation built on laws, with checks and balances to ensure power can never attain the unfettered primacy that leads to tyranny… I will not be bullied away from my life’s work of fighting to keep children safe from social media’s harm and stopping antisemitism online. Onward.”

This case is not just about Imran.

It is a direct threat to anyone who challenges social media giants, publishes uncomfortable truths, or demands accountability for the harm caused by social media platforms. If governments can punish researchers and advocates for their speech, no one doing this work is safe.

The legal fight is far from over. Legal costs are mounting, and the pressure on CCDH’s work is real.

This is not how any of us planned to spend the Christmas season. But the stakes could not be higher.

If you believe in protecting kids online, in stopping the spread of online harms, and in defending the right to speak truth to power, we need you with us.

Friend, join us. Help fund this fight. Please donate today. ([link removed])

Thank you for standing with us when it matters most.

Onward,

The CCDH Team
