Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying (PRESS)
Important! Save our press freedoms and protect reporters from spying and threatened intimidation! This legislation could do it!
Freedom of the Press Foundation
(https://freedom.press/news/tell-sen-durbin-to-advance-the-press-act/)
is asking everyone to “Tell Sen. Durbin to advance the PRESS Act, the
historic press freedom legislation”. This bill, H.R.4330
(https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/4330), passed
the House on a voice vote, which means that if the bill actually comes
up for a vote in the Senate it may be viewed as an uncontroversial and
non-partisan issue. They suggested Durbin, because he’s the Chair of
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
They asked supporters to contact Durbin’s office and ask him to support
the PRESS Act by calling 202-224-2152 or using his webmail form
(https://www.durbin.senate.gov/contact/email).
