Protect Press Freedom: Save Voice of America

Voice of America (VOA), a U.S.-funded international broadcaster established over 80 years ago to combat disinformation, is facing termination notices for its remaining 800 employees. This follows the dismissal of nearly 600 contractors earlier this month. The Trump administration has labeled VOA as "anti-Trump" and initiated actions to eliminate it, despite its longstanding commitment to nonpartisan journalism since the World War II era.

The shutdown of VOA not only threatens the livelihoods of dedicated journalists but also undermines America's commitment to free and independent media. VOA has been instrumental in providing accurate news to audiences worldwide, especially in regions where press freedom is limited. Replacing its content with programming from partisan outlets jeopardizes the integrity and credibility that VOA has built over decades.

We urge the administration to halt the dismantling of VOA and uphold the principles of press freedom. Preserving VOA ensures that the U.S. continues to stand as a beacon of truthful journalism in the global media landscape. Add your name to support the protection of independent media and the journalists who serve the public interest.
