Stand with the Babylon Bee. Fight Global Censorship.

Free speech is under threat across the globe. From South America to Europe to the Middle East, we’ve seen government officials cracking down on this fundamental right.

And it’s happening in the U.S., too.

Two new laws recently passed by California Governor Newsom target free speech online, allowing the government to punish private citizens for posting or reposting certain political memes if they contain “materially deceptive content.”

Officials who disagree with what online posts say are empowered to deem that speech “materially deceptive” and censor it, or require people to put disclaimers on their satirical posts.

It’s done in the name of fighting misinformation—but instead it crushes free expression and silences healthy political debate.

But the government shouldn’t be allowed to quiet certain voices just because it disagrees with what they have to say. That’s not freedom.

We filed a case on behalf of the Babylon Bee, a satire website, as well as a California-based attorney to challenge these unconstitutional laws.

As threats to free speech ramp up in the U.S. and around the globe, help from friends like you is needed to keep up this work to defend our rights.

Please step up with your best gift now to help oppose global censorship and protect our God-given right to speak the truth.
