One year ago, we did not exist.

Today, we are defending a military whistleblower in prison. A journalist dragged before the Federal Court for her reporting. A former ASIO agent in hiding because he told Australians the truth. A Berlin-based journalist sanctioned by the European Union without charge, trial, or conviction.

No other organisation in Australia took these cases. We did.

The Information Rights Project was founded because the fight to free Julian Assange revealed something urgent: the people who tell the truth, the journalists who publish it, and the whistleblowers who risk everything to get it out have almost nowhere to turn.

We exist to change that. To keep doing it through our second year, we need the people who believe in this work to back it. The target is $150,000 by 3 July.

Not to grow. Not to expand. To keep these campaigns live and the people we defend from standing alone.

That target is what holds the work together. Reach it, and every one of these campaigns stays in the fight. The people we defend keep someone in their corner.

Last year, five people facing the full force of the state had someone there. Your donation means that next year, more will too.

"I have been incredibly grateful for the support of the Information Rights Project and its supporters. Your organisation has supported me to remain safe and continue exploring options for my future. While it remains an uncertain and stressful time, it would be many times worse without the Information Rights Project. The work of the Information Rights Project is so important in protecting truth and transparency." Marcus, ASIO whistleblower

"The Information Rights Project provides a lifeline. It is not an exaggeration to say I owe my life to them and those who answered their call. They are a shining light of strength and hope for those who stand up for what is right." David McBride, Afghanistan War Whistleblower
