Support

USAGM Employee Association helps threatened, injured, and fallen colleagues at US-funded media and their families worldwide. Our CFC code is 78215. 

Our membership is limited to current employees, agents, representatives, contractors, correspondents, stringers, and support personnel of the USAGM and its constituent entities, which include the Voice of America, USAGM staff offices, the Office of Cuba BroadcastingRadio Free AsiaRadio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Open Technology Fund and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks.

Journalists are caught in the crossfire – labelled as “foreign agents,” thrown in jail on trumped up charges, and harassed as a result of their reporting.  These growing geopolitical tensions will continue to impact the journalists and staff of USAGM’s networks. Many have already been forced to leave their homes and loved ones to escape to safety.

The USAGM Employee Association is here to help our brothers and sisters who come under pressure from governments and other forces that fear the accountability that comes from journalists committed to balanced, truthful, and impactful reporting.

The Association needs your help to be able to help USAGM’s most important asset: our people.

Every dollar you give to the USAGM Employee Association as part of this special call for donations will be used to support journalists who are at extreme risk due to their work.

The USAGM Employee Association is a registered non-profit organization. Our EIN is 83-2456434. For contributions by check, the Association’s mailing address is PO Box 65067, Washington, DC 20035. Any related inquiries can be sent to the Executive Committee at chair@usagmassociation.org
