the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is thrilled to announce that thanks to the amazing support of free software advocates worldwide, we’ve welcomed over 100 new associate members since the start of our spring fundraiser. Your dedication to strengthening software freedom is truly inspiring, but we still need your help to reach our goal.
A Crucial Push for 200 New Members
We’re just 67 members away from our spring target of 200 new associate members. To give everyone a little more time to contribute, we’ve extended our fundraiser by another week, now concluding on july 18th. in a world where powerful entities seem to tighten their grip on our digital autonomy daily, free software offers a vital path to reclaiming control over our lives.
Your Voice Matters: Defy Dystopia Today!
Can you join us in this essential work to safeguard user freedom and stand against a dystopian future? Becoming an associate member is a powerful way to lend your voice and support. Every single associate member makes a difference, bringing us closer to our goal of 200 new members. By supporting us today, you actively help defy dystopia.
More Than Just a Donation: Investing in Freedom
just as saying “no” to even one nonfree program is a meaningful act for the free software movement, so is every donation to the FSF. Your financial contributions are the bedrock that allows us to:
Defend the GPL: We tirelessly work to protect the GNU General Public License from current and future threats, ensuring software remains free for everyone.
Campaign for Software Freedom: We advocate for policies and practices that promote user freedom and ethical technology.
Run Essential Services: We maintain dozens of critical services for the GNU operating system and countless othre free software projects that power our digital lives.
A Small Sacrifice for Lasting Impact
Consider this: could you redirect the cost of your next coffee – just $5 USD – towards the FSF? It might mean a couple of hours without caffeine, but the support you provide is far more enduring. It’s an investment in a future where technology serves humanity, not the other way around.
Forty Years of Fighting for Freedom, and We’re Not Done Yet!
We’re incredibly grateful for your support over the past forty years of campaigning for software freedom.We have a significant push ahead to gain the remaining 67 members in just a few days. But with our dedicated and passionate supporters,and the collective strength of the entire free software movement,I am confident we can achieve our goals.
Let’s work together to ensure a future where software freedom is not just a concept, but a reality for all.
