Support a Memorial for Fallen Journalists
Throughout our nation’s history, hundreds of U.S. journalists have lost their lives while doing their jobs so that the American public could stay informed on important matters affecting our country. These journalists and media workers not only deserve our thanks and appreciation, they deserve a lasting acknowledgement of their sacrifice.
The Fallen Journalists Memorial Act of 2019
In June, a bi-partisan group of U.S. Senators and Representatives introduced S. 1969 / H.R. 3465, “The Fallen Journalists Memorial Act of 2019.” If authorized, the Act would authorize the Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation raise private funds to build a monument to our lost colleagues on federal land in Washington, D.C.
We believe this memorial will be an important reminder for the public of the journalists and their colleagues whose lives were lost serving their country, and those who continue to risk their lives every day to deliver critical information to their communities.
