As the festive season approaches, we want to say thank you for being a part of the ARTICLE 19 community this year.

We work tirelessly to ensure that everyone can freely express themselves and actively engage in public life without fear of discrimination.

Your support is crucial in protecting two interlocking freedoms: the Freedom to Speak and the Freedom to Know. As we take a moment to celebrate 2023, we are reaching out to you, our valued supporter, to ask for your contribution to help us continue our global work.

Help build a freer, fairer world

What we've achieved this year

Here’s just some of the highlights from this year...

New Podcast launches

This year we released two podcasts. At the start of the year, we launched Taming the Titans – our podcast looking at Big Tech and human rights, hosted by journalist Emily Hart.

This summer, we also launched Techtonic, hosted by tech reporter Chris Stokel-Walker, on freedom of expression online and the impact that Big Tech and social media have on our lives.

Brazil office anniversary

In a debate celebrating 15 years of ARTICLE 19’s Brazil and South America office, journalists, artists, and activists discussed freedom of expression in the Amazon region, tackling racism, the challenges posed by Big Tech and by Brazil’s legal system, Brazil’s media landscape, and protecting human rights defenders.

In May, the office was also invited to join Brazil’s Council for Transparency, Integrity and Combating Corruption, with the aim of improving and promoting policies for the public good.

Social Media 4 Peace

In its second year, ARTICLE 19, under the UNESCO project Social Media 4 Peace funded by the European Union, celebrated the establishment of local coalitions in Kenya, Indonesia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina to address the challenges global tech giants pose to local communities.

We also launched the content moderation and freedom of expression handbook, a valuable resource for civil society and other stakeholders who are involved in content moderation issues.

Your generosity fuels progress, transforms lives, and defends fundamental rights. Today, we invite you to make a lasting impact by supporting ARTICLE 19.
