International Free Expression Project

At IFEP, freedom is… courage to speak up, hope for a better tomorrow, truth in every action, choice to be who we are, justice for all, and power in our voices.

As May ends, let these words remind us that freedom is more than just a right—it’s something we must protect and uphold every day. Let’s continue pushing for the freedom to express, create, and stand for what’s right.

Change starts with courage. When we face what’s uncomfortable and speak what’s true, we open the door to real transformation.

Silence protects the status quo; our voices challenge it.

Today’s is Bellingcat, a nonprofit pioneering investigative journalism through open-source intelligence (OSINT) and digital forensics.

Based in the UK, Bellingcat has revolutionized the way we uncover global stories, from conflict zones to corruption. By using publicly available data like satellite imagery and social media posts, Bellingcat exposes hidden truths and holds power accountable, all while championing transparency and justice.

Follow their groundbreaking work at and support their mission to make investigative journalism more accessible and impactful for all. 📰

On Day, we honor the journalists who risk everything to uncover truth, challenge power, and give voice to the unheard.

A free press isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline to truth, accountability, and human rights. When journalists are censored, attacked, or silenced, the voices of entire communities are pushed into the shadows.

📢 Today and every day, we must defend the right to report freely and protect those who dare to speak truth to power.
