Hi John,

Evan here from Fight for the Future. I’m going to be really direct: we’re in a life or death fight, and we need your help.

GIVE TO FIGHT

Fascists are using technology to control us and take away our rights. But resistance movements are using tech to fight back––organizing protests, raising money, and documenting human rights abuses.

This year, we’ve staved off dangerous censorship legislation like KOSA. We brought national attention to creeping surveillance on college campuses. We provided direct support and digital security advice to anti-ICE organizers, LGBTQ resource centers, and Palestine activists.¹

As a small, queer-women run collective of activists, artists, and technologists, we’ve built a reputation as one of the most ruthless and effective activist organizations in the United States. But it’s an uphill battle, and in the last several years we’ve lost several major funding sources due to our principled and fearless positions

We’re coming up on the end of the year, and we are dangerously behind the fundraising goals we need to meet our budget. The democratic backsliding of the Trump era is taking a real toll: many traditional nonprofit funders are pulling back from supporting the type of aggressive activism we’re famous for, because they’re afraid of putting a target on their backs. Many of the startups and small tech projects that used to support our work have been gobbled up or run out of business by Big Tech monopolies.

We’re never going to compromise our values or water down our messaging to appease big dollar donors. That’s why our work is so dependent on the community of people who care about these issues. People like you.

We’ve got big plans in the coming year: like building a coalition of parents opposed to online censorship, and launching a major new campaign around the use of AI in hospitals and schools.¹ But that means we’re more and more dependent on small, individual donations from all of you.

Our history-making activism is only possible thanks to hundreds of people who chip in $5, $10 or $50 a month to support our work. Many people are struggling right now. We get that. So if you’re in a position to make a donation or become a monthly supporter, please do.

DONATE TO FIGHT

The movement to save democracy needs Fight for the Future, and we need you.
