The Epoch Times makes all ‘America’s 250th’ content free of charge in July

NEW YORK — Today, The Epoch Times — an independent media organization — announced a month-long open-access initiative through July 2026, making all premium content within its “America’s 250th” hub available free of charge as a public educational resource on American history, civics and values. The Epoch Times’ coverage of America’s 250th birthday features articles, videos, documentaries and infographics, all of which are now available without a paywall. The “America’s 250th” hub can be accessed here.

The patriotic initiative by The Epoch Times, celebrating America’s historic Semiquincentennial, includes various educational materials, such as a six-part cinematic series on “The American Story,” original text and video content exploring the U.S. Constitution, and interactive tools that are designed to increase civic engagement. This also includes unrestricted access to The Epoch Times’ on-the-ground news coverage, live streams and historical commentary surrounding 2026 Semiquincentennial events across America. For example, The Epoch Times recently published a story about the Trump administration’s Washington makeover, identifying the statues, memorials and fountains currently being improved and beautified in the nation’s capital.

The Epoch Times’ initiative is intended for a wide range of audiences — from students, educators and homeschoolers to history enthusiasts. Most importantly, it is a free resource for the general public, offering U.S. citizens the comprehensive news and contextual history they need to celebrate America’s milestone 250th birthday and its enduring values.

“As America turns 250, The Epoch Times is committed to providing Americans with free, comprehensive access to high-quality educational content,” said Jasper Fakkert, editor-in-chief of the U.S. editions of The Epoch Times. “By removing financial barriers, we can democratize history education, ensuring that premium, thoroughly researched civic content is available to every American during the peak month of the Semiquincentennial. Along the way, we can take a giant step toward national unity, focusing on shared foundational truths, ancient philosophical roots and a deep appreciation of the U.S. Constitution. Together, we will inspire unity, patriotism, and constructive civic dialogue.”
