Free Press is a mid-sized nonprofit in the civic and social sector that works to ensure people have the information and opportunities they need to tell their stories, hold leaders accountable, and participate in policymaking. The organization aims to preserve an open and free Internet, curb media consolidation, protect press freedom, and ensure diverse voices are represented in media. It centers on people who rely on reliable information and inclusive media ecosystems, including underserved communities whose information needs require advocacy and policy influence. Based in Washington, D.C., it operates as a defender of public access to information and accountability within media and digital policy. A notable recent development is the 2026 launch of a mobile billboard campaign that toured Capitol Hill and parked outside the FCC headquarters to protest what it describes as censorship-related regulatory actions.
