Journalists have the right to cover protests and demonstrations.

Protests are one of the most dangerous places for journalists in America. Journalists are routinely prevented from gathering the news, illegally arrested, and attacked by law enforcement and demonstrators.

Journalists have a First Amendment right to cover public protests. Protecting and expanding that right ensures that the public can learn what’s happening at protests and how they are policed.

Stop ICE assaults of journalists

Federal agents are assaulting journalists across the country. Congress needs to speak out.

  1. Tell your lawmakers to stand up for journalists victimized by ICE

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been assaulting journalists around the country, from reporters in Chicago who were shot with pepper balls to a reporter in New York who was slammed to the ground and needed to be hospitalized. Tell Congress to take a stand and demand answers.
