After unanimously passing the House Judiciary Committee, the bipartisan PRESS Act has been offered as an amendment to the NDAA. That means it could get a vote in the Senate any day.
Sen. Schumer’s support is crucial. The good news is he's supported shield bills for journalists before.
Last year, almost 40 organizations urged Sen. Schumer to protect press freedom and be a hero to journalists. https://freedom.press/news/nearly-40-press-rights-and-civil-liberties-organizations-urge-sen-schumer-to-help-pass-the-press-act/
You can tell Sen. Schumer to support the PRESS Act so news sources can come forward without fearing for their careers or freedom here: https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck
Sen. Lindsey Graham's support is also vital to passing the PRESS Act through the NDAA.
We explained in the Post and Courrier why Sen. Graham --who has (along with Schumer) sponsored journalist shield bills before--should support the bipartisan effort to make the PRESS Act the law. https://www.postandcourier.com/opinion/commentary/commentary-sen-graham-should-strengthen-first-amendment-by-supporting-press-act/article_bed725d4-aca1-11ed-8c9f-c788d5b2398d.html
@freedomofpress the NDAA should be immediately vetoed because it includes the dangerous "Stop CSAM Act" (basically a renamed Earn It Act) that would decimate encryption and privacy
