Thank You Abby Phillip, Yamiche Alcindor and April Ryan!

Dear Abby Phillip, Yamiche Alcindor and April Ryan,

Thank you for your commitment to honest reporting on the White House. In spite of the verbal abuse and attempts to silence you, you persisted and asked the Trump administration tough questions to hold them accountable.

You confronted Trump on the Mueller investigation, voter suppression in the midterm elections, and challenged his divisive rhetoric and close ties to white nationalism. 

We admire your grit in the face of dismissive and demeaning language, and we appreciate your dedication to keeping the American public informed. 

In solidarity, 

Your Supporters

    I’ve often seen the three of you speaking on the PBS news and/or the Jake Tapper show, and have always been impressed by your knowledge and objectivity. No matter how many insults are thrown at you by the “Trumps” of the world, there are many, many more who appreciate the fine work you do. Continue to hold your head high!

    Thank you to you three amazing woman and to the men and women of the free press this wonderful nation needs. You are the face of the people, asking the questions we can’t, and you put together the information we all can absorb in order to inform our decisions and actions. It’s a noble and demanding profession and you should take pride and joy in your accomplishments day in and day out. Thank you.

    I sometimes think I threw my vote away when I voted for the 3rd party candidate because I did not want either major party candidate…ideologically, I was hoping many more Americans would try to send a message like I was. The only way to change our currently deplorable political climate is to continue to ask the difficult questions. As a mentor used to tell me regularly, “Don’t let the bastards get you down!” You need to keep asking the the tough questions, because “America” has lost its moral and ethical compass and we need to find it again. There are no bad (or stupid) questions, just people that behave stupidly. Keep up the good work!

    Thank you for standing up every day for our democracy, asking the questions that need to be asked, and repeating the question when the answer is a lie, vague, or intentional not answered. You are great role models for the next generation of (woman) journalist.

    Thank you so much for asking the questions that need to be asked. I am deeply worried about where things are headed with this administration. It is not only Trump, but also those that stand up for him, support him, and justify the filth he spreads every time he boldly lies. I appreciate that you are in there doing a difficult job. I feel like my letters and calls to Senators and representatives are falling on deaf ears. Please continue to be our voice!
