Author's Note

Two decades ago, in our CEO's basement in Atlanta, Georgia, a seed was planted—the seed that has now grown into The Epoch Times, America's 4th largest newspaper by subscriber count. You've taken the truth we publish and made a staple in millions of American households. From our early days to now, our vision remains unchanged. We aspire to be recognized as the 'paper of record,' the world's most trusted and admired media company, and the organization that, by its example, restores the best practices and highest principles of journalism.

With readers like you, our vision is not a dream; it's a certainty.

In Monthly Milestones, I'm excited to highlight the achievements readers like you fueled. This insider information is what we see on the back end, and I know you'll value it because we did this together. Every Epoch Times article you share on social media brings the truth we uniquely uncover to your friends and family. Every dollar you spend on your subscription results in time spent publishing the truth. We don't have major corporate backers; we are fueled by you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

We Hosted 'The Real Story of January 6 Part 2' Inside the U.S. Capitol Building

The Epoch Times held a screening on Jan. 9, 2024, in the U.S. Capitol building for the second part of EpochTV's exposé-style documentary, "The Real Story of January 6 Part 2: The Long Road Home." Part two was released exclusively on EpochTV on the third anniversary of the momentous day in January of 2021. The documentary is available online now for Epoch Times subscribers.

Watch Documentary

The screening, hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), invited the public and lawmakers alike to join him in viewing the long-anticipated documentary which promises to tell the truth about what took place on Jan. 6, 2021 and the months and years following. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) praised The Epoch Times' new documentary exploring the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol and their effects on American life.

Immediately after the screening, The Epoch Times senior editor and host of "American Thought Leaders" Jan Jekielek emceed a panel of experts and commentators, including William Shipley, a 21-year DOJ prosecutor turned defense attorney; national security expert and former national intelligence strategist Tom Speciale; Heritage Institute Oversight Project Director Mike Howell; Sarah McAbee, the wife of a Jan. 6 detainee who's been separated from her husband for years in the wake of his arrest; and The Epoch Times senior investigative reporter Joseph Hanneman, host and writer of the documentary.

Jeff Clark, the former assistant attorney general under President Donald Trump and a co-defendant in President Trump's Georgia election case, urges Americans to watch the documentary. "I think everyone should want to be well-informed," he said. "Watching a movie like this would help people to get a broader perspective. And then they can start to ask questions and ask for a balanced investigation by Congress."

"I just have to thank Epoch Times for being those journalists that are utilizing our First Amendment rights to freedom of press, freedom of speech, being the honest broker in terms of trying to expose and tell the American people the truth," praised Sen. Johnson.

"All I could ask of anybody here in the audience or listening in a later video tape is please try and find out what the truth is, discern it. Look up sites like Epoch Times, subscribe," implored Sen. Johnson. "We haven't even begun to be told the full story, which means the truth about January 6."

You Are Helping Our Youth

I went into college with a choice: either go to law school or enter the seminary. When I arrived, I discovered that young people are being sold on the merits of socialism and told that patriotism is problematic.

As a student, I often felt like an intellectual punching bag, discouraged from standing up for our country and its values. Three generations after my family fled the Soviet Union for my future, my professors and peers were cheering that socialism is our future. We aren't given enough information to form our own opinions and aren't exposed to diverse viewpoints.

If I had just accepted the readings I was assigned, the books I had to purchase, and the articles I had to annotate, I wouldn't be writing this letter. I was blessed to find The Epoch Times, a resource that stood out to me not only as truthful but dependable—a tool I used to defend my country and myself. Supportive Americans from The Epoch Times community such as you have given me the courage to change my career aspirations and make truthful, independent journalism my mission.

From my experience, I learned that the horror of censorship isn't that one is robbed of an opportunity to speak one's piece, it's that one is robbed of an opportunity to hear the truth. Because I experienced this first-hand, I understand the importance of a reliable source of information.

I want more students to have access to our journalism, and your donation makes that possible. I'm thankful for your support and for giving young people like me the chance to hear the truth.
