We have more exciting news. The Forum for Humor & the Law (ForHum) and CGFoE just launched the largest survey ever conducted on political cartoonists' online experiences. Are you a political cartoonist? ForHum and CGFoE welcome your input. Do you know a political cartoonist? Please spread the word. 

100% anonymous and secure, the survey – available in English, Spanish, French, and Arabic – consists of generic, close-ended questions that do not require detailed descriptions. The results will form the basis of an upcoming report by Cartooning for Peace, Cartoonists Rights, and their partners on the prevalence of issues such as censorship, abuse, and security threats faced by political cartoonists globally. The report will serve as a credible advocacy tool, offering evidence-based recommendations to social media platforms, lawmakers, and other stakeholders.
