Thank you so much for your generous gift to the Fund for Families of Journalists in Danger. It is because of donors like you that we are able to provide critical support to journalists and their families in the most difficult moments of their lives, and I could not be more grateful.
The last three months have seen remarkable opportunities to spread the word of Austin's capture. Some of them were personal, such as the disbursement of #FreeAustinTice pins to supporters, the White House Correspondents Association, and journalists requesting them from various news outlets. On a larger scale, there was widespread attention garnered by the FBI's announcement of a $1 million reward for information on Austin's whereabouts and the subsequent interviews with his family.
It is our hope that each of these moments of recognition will sear our mission to bring Austin home onto the national consciousness, making his safe return a major priority not only for all of us, but for public officials, as well.
Thank you again for your gift to the Fund for Families. With your support, I know we can protect journalists, their families, and the right to information for us all.
All my best,
Hilary
