During a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, journalist Weijia Jiang remained calm, helped address the room, and continued reporting just hours after the attack.

She was seated next to the president when shots rang out. Amid chaos, she helped steady the moment — and then returned to her role as a journalist, asking questions and informing the public.

This is what a free press looks like:

Courage under pressure
Commitment to truth
Dedication to the public
Journalists often face danger, yet continue to do their jobs.

We call on:

White House Correspondents’ Association
U.S. leaders and institutions
to formally recognize and honor Weijia Jiang’s courage and reaffirm support for a free and independent press.

Sign to say: honor journalistic courage—protect the press.
