Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. should end his government's opposition to @MariaRessa’s appeal against her conviction on spurious criminal cyber libel charges, which were pursued and prosecuted by the State #HoldTheLine buff.ly/3g0ucvA
![A quote card from the #HoldTheLine Coalition that says “We call on President Marcos to show the world that he rejects the Duterte-era persecution and prosecution of journalists and independent media by immediately withdrawing all charges and cases against [Maria] Ressa, her co-accused, and her Manila-based outlet Rappler.”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FfWoVBdXEAAi29C.jpg?name=orig)

We strongly urge the Philippine government to reverse the decision to shut down @rapplerdotcom, a pioneering digital news outlet that has become one of the only sources of independent news amid a crackdown on #pressfreedom. axios.com/2022/06/28/maria-r… 1/

Now is the time to step up and support and defend @mariaressa and @rapplerdotcom - this is an unjustified, political attack on press freedom. Maria has done so much for journalism: we must now fight this censorship and ensure Rappler can continue its vital reporting #HoldTheLine
Rappler, the Philippine news site headed by our co-chairperson @mariaressa has been ordered to shut down. It is a dismaying decision that portends yet worse for press freedom in the country.

Pleased to be speaking with Sheri Berman, @SuzanneNossel & @hanskundnani today at #CHLondon about renewing democracy.
I believe there are bright spots: new research commissioned by @luminategroup showed greater enthusiasm for democracy than expected.

Fantastically encouraging.
@FundFreeMedia is one of the most important initiatives to actually DO something about media sustainability, and @Sheetal_Vyas99, Amélie Baudot, @ColinCrowell, @khadijapatel, @JamesMDeane, @judeauxp, & @nishantlalwani have done a great job launching it
BIG NEWS FOR MEDIA: Speaking at @unesco #WorldPressFreedomConference in Uruguay, @Sheetal_Vyas99, has just announced that we will launch our inaugural round of funding through an open call in 17 countries - commencing tomorrow!
The most powerful speech by a well deserved Nobel Laureate. @luminategroup has been proud to be your partner @mariaressa!

With the right help from the rest of world, Burma has every chance to become not only a federal democracy but a peaceful, prosperous, and multicultural society. Country is at an historic inflection and there is absolutely no going back.
Independent journalists in the Philippines are being sent a chilling message: You are only safe in silence.
@mariaressa knows this better than anyone. Join us and help her #HoldTheLine.

When Terror Meets Humor: The military’s attempt to instill fear by shooting ammunition and flash-bangs at night is met with very unexpected responses from the public. #WeLaughWeLive #whatshappeninginmyanmar
In spite of the barrage of online attacks she's received, @mariaressa is unrelenting in her fight for press freedom. @icfj's new study found these attacks were designed to undermine her professional credibility and public trust in her journalism. icfj.org/our-work/maria-ress… #IWD2021

Excited to launch a new website for my forthcoming book today.
Learn more about the book (and the author), read (and listen to) a sample chapter, and register for updates. If you're into #purpose and #meaning, this could be the book for you.

Really important article to read on the current situation in Myanmar - The Civil Disobedience Movement must define clear goals, set sustainable strategies and ditch any illusions of foreign intervention if it’s to win its tug-of-war with the Tatmadaw.frontiermyanmar.net/en/how-t…
Shocking and unforgivable #SaveMyammar
