Become a Member of Reporters Without Borders USA
At Reporters Without Borders, our core belief is that press freedom allows us to verify the existence of all other freedoms. Without a free press, it is impossible to strengthen human rights protection, advance government accountability, and improve the reach and the quality of social justice and civil liberties.
By giving $100 or more a year, you become a member of Reporters Without Borders USA, supporting the fight for press freedom in every corner of the globe. As a member, we will help you:
- Get more involved in defending freedom of the press and information: Members can participate in our activities and lend support to any demonstrations and campaigns RSF USA undertakes.
- Be informed about the state of press freedom around the world: Members receive information every month about the latest attacks on press freedom and how we plan to challenge them.
- Support the actions of Reporters Without Borders: Members’ contributions are crucial to fund Reporters Without Borders' activities and assistance programs.
Don't wait until you're deprived of information before you fight for it. Join us today!
