Hi Digital Rights Supporter,
In the face of rising authoritarianism and invasive surveillance, where would we be without an encrypted web? For 35 years, we at EFF have dedicated ourselves to protecting the tools of resistance and the xxxxxxs of democracy online. We’re on a relentless mission to protect your civil liberties and human rights wherever they meet tech, but it’s only possible with your help.
Your security online depends on researchers, hackers, and creators who are willing to take privacy and free speech rights seriously. That's why EFF is at this week's summer security conferences protecting the beating heart of that movement.
This renowned summit of computer hacking events—BSidesLV, Black Hat USA, and DEF CON—illustrate the key role a community can play in helping you break free of the trappings of technology and retake the reins.
For summer security week, EFF’s DEF CON 33 t-shirt design Beyond the Walled Garden by Hannah Diaz is your gift at the Gold Level membership. Look closer to discover this year’s puzzle challenge!
A Token of Appreciation: Become a recurring monthly or annual Sustaining Donor this week and you'll get a numbered EFF35 Challenge Coin. Challenge coins follow a long tradition of offering a symbol of kinship and respect for great achievements—and EFF owes its strength to technology creators and users like you.
With 35 years of deep expertise, EFF delivers bold action to solve the biggest problems facing tech users: suing the government for overstepping their bounds; empowering the people and lawmakers to help them hold the line; and creating free, public interest software tools and guides to make the web better.
Donate to EFF today and break free of tech’s walled gardens.
For your freedom online,
Aaron Jue
EFF Membership Team
