Thank you to the organizations and individuals supporting the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), also known as the Safe Harbor bill, which would allow news publishers to collectively negotiate with the tech platforms for fair compensation for use of their content. With your support, we hope to get this bill passed and for news publishers to get the compensation they deserve.
