ADVOCACY

Fighting for what's right.

Kate uses her platform to amplify voices, expose injustice, and push for accountability where institutions have failed. This is the work that goes beyond commentary.

THE MISSION

Independent advocacy, no agenda.

Kate's advocacy work is driven by one principle: people deserve the truth, and those who have been failed by the system deserve to be heard. No political affiliation. No corporate backing. Just accountability.

Exposed information that helped lead to several convictions of First Amendment Auditor influencers.

TRUE CRIME & JUSTICE2023

The Karen Read Case

Kate Peter was among the first journalists to expose the truth behind the high-profile Karen Read case — uncovering the conspiracy between Karen Read and blogger Aidan Kearney to manipulate public opinion and obstruct justice. While mainstream media amplified a false narrative, Kate stood with the witnesses and the victim's family, defending their credibility and giving voice to those targeted by a coordinated smear campaign. Her reporting helped shift the public conversation toward the facts.

OUTCOME

Conspiracy exposed, witnesses defended

O'KEEFE CASE

Support the Commonwealth Witnesses.

The witnesses who told the truth in the O'Keefe case were targeted, harassed, and left without support by a media machine that chose narrative over facts. Defending the Truth is the organization standing with them — legally, publicly, and financially.
