Supporting journalists globally might feel far away, but a world without press freedom is a world with no real truth—something all of us need.

If you don’t stand for press freedom, what are you even standing for? Democracy’s first line of defense isn’t a soldier, it’s a journalist.

A free press means telling the truth, even when it’s about our allies—and that’s what this bill protects. Patriotism starts with transparency.

This resolution backs brave reporters, not propaganda peddlers. If you want democracy, you defend the free press first.

Free press isn’t just ideology, it’s survival—both for democracy and informed voters. This is the kind of bipartisan baseline we should all agree on.
