The repression and de-platforming directed at whistleblowers, solidarity efforts with Palestine, the Black freedom movement, and voices for peace and justice are increasing exponentially, along with attacks on migrants and refugees, women and LGBTQ+ people, and labor.
The threat to non-profits and specifically to non-commercial educational broadcasters expressed in Project 2025 and in proposed federal legislation are aimed at suppressing freedom of expression and investigative journalism that can expose and oppose the social and economic forces and interests behind those attacks.
Denying freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of cultural expression denies your right to listen, to learn and to associate. Join us for a working gathering to strategize a campaign to defend our rights and protect targeted communities and their institutions.
The monopolization of commercial broadcasting and control of social media by billionaires is producing news deserts that provide space for well-financed reactionary and racist voices. Help restore local news and progressive discourse, and opportunities to learn about the struggles and successes of popular movements globally and locally.
