At Reporters Without Borders, our core belief is that it is only through freedom of information that one can verify the existence of all the other freedoms. Without free circulation of information, it is impossible to strengthen human rights protection, advance government accountability, and improve the reach and the quality of social justice and civil liberties. At RSF, we are defending freedom of information and defending reporters and citizen reporters (netizens) whose work benefits ALL citizens.

Being a member of Reporters Without Borders USA, you support our actions in favor of free information in every corner of the globe.

Information is a right for any of us, we need you to defend it. Join us!
