**Category:** legal

## Who it is for

US-based journalists facing threats, legal challenges, immigration issues, or digital security concerns.

## Editorial take

Five major press freedom organizations pooled their resources into a single intake point — CPJ, FPF, IWMF, PEN America, and RCFP — so journalists don't have to figure out which org to call first.

## Best for / not for

**Best for:** US journalists who need help but aren't sure which organization to contact. Legal assistance, physical safety, digital security, and immigration support through one coordinated network.

**Not for:** Journalists outside the US. International journalists should look at CPJ's global programs, Media Defence, or TrialWatch.
