- **Event Name**: An Evening with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Maria Ressa
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 02 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for a timely and unflinching conversation with Maria Ressa, one of the most courageous journalists of our time.

Named one of TIME’s Most Influential People and one of its Women of the Century, Ressa has spent her career on the front lines of the global fight for truth and democracy. As co-founder and CEO of Rappler, the top digital-only news site leading the fight for press freedom in the Philippines, she has endured relentless political harassment under the Duterte government. Faced with 11 arrest warrants in just over a year, Ressa has become one of the world’s most powerful advocates for press freedom and the integrity of our information ecosystems. In 2021, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to safeguard freedom of expression.

Ressa’s most recent bestselling book, How to Stand Up to a Dictator, charts the global battle over digital truth and the future of democracies everywhere. The Financial Times called it a “highly personal, powerful and important book” while The Guardian praised Ressa as a “moral giant.”

In 2022, Ressa was appointed by the UN Secretary-General to the Leadership Panel of the Internet Governance Forum and serves as its Vice-Chair. She is also a Professor of Practice at Columbia University where she leads projects within the Institute of Global Politics related to artificial intelligence and democracy.
