Journalists don’t sign up to be quiet. They sign up to seek truth — even when the truth makes the powerful uncomfortable.

This week, two women reporters were publicly insulted for doing exactly that.
Instead of backing down, SPJ is standing up — and inviting every journalist and ally to stand with us.

🐷💰 For a limited time, take $15 off SPJ Pro Membership with code: PIGGY.
Because we’re reclaiming the insult meant to silence a reporter and turning it into momentum, solidarity and a stronger journalism community.

If you believe in the First Amendment…
If you believe in the work journalists do every single day…
