You can help us reach more people and fill seats by spreading the word about our event:
The role of journalism in a democracy is fundamental — it’s the reason why freedom of the press is enshrined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
So, it comes as no surprise when those seeking to take a hatchet to government and human rights put a target on journalists’ backs. The question is, who will protect local news if not journalists and those who value what we do?
With this in mind, we are launching a series of public events and discussions, because we know we’re not the only ones who want to talk about the threats facing our democracy and what to do about them.
We hope you will join us Thursday, March 13, for the first event, a film screening with proceeds benefitting the Public Press. Details below and tickets here. |
