Dear Free Software Supporter,

Thanks to free software supporters all over the world, we've been able to welcome more than 100 associate members since the beginning of our spring fundraiser. We appreciate all the support we receive for our work strengthening software freedom -- but we need your help to make it to the finish line. Since we only need 67 more members to reach our spring goal of 200 new members, we've extended our fundraiser another week to July 18. When it seems like the oligarchs' hold over our digital autonomy grows tighter by the day, free software is the solution for carving out a space where we are free to control our own lives.

We need your voice!

Can you join us in our crucial work to guard user freedom and defy dystopia? Become an associate member today! Every associate member counts, and every new member will help us get closer to reaching our fundraising goal of 200 new members. By supporting us today, you help defy dystopia.

Just like saying no to just one nonfree program lends crucial support to the free software movement, so does every donation to the FSF. It's your financial support that helps us defend the GPL from current and future threats, campaign for software freedom, and run dozens of services for the GNU operating system and other free software projects. Can you spare the $5 USD on your next coffee for the FSF instead? It might mean going without caffeine for a couple hours -- but the support you'll be giving us is much longer lasting.

Thank you for supporting us through forty years of campaigning for software freedom. We have a long way to go until the finish line of 67 more members in just a few days. Yet, with our dedicated and passionate supporters -- and the help of the entire free software movement -- I know we can achieve our goals.

In freedom,

Greg Farough
Campaigns Manager
