Pass the PRESS Act

To: Rep. Omar, Sen. Smith, Sen. Klobuchar

From: A constituent in Minneapolis, MN

November 21

The proposed PRESS Act aims to protect journalists and news media from undue government interference or harassment. As members of a free press play a vital role in upholding democracy and holding power accountable, this legislation safeguards their ability to report truthfully without fear of retaliation or obstruction. Given the recent concerning incidents of reporters being arrested, surveilled, or denied access, decisive action is needed to prevent further erosion of press freedoms. Enacting the PRESS Act would reinforce First Amendment protections, promote transparency, and send a clear message about this nation's commitment to robust and independent journalism. I urge passing this act to preserve the public's right to access information from credible sources.
