John,
I’m Terri, the Chief Financial Officer of Fight for the Future.
I wrote to you a few months ago to let you know that we were more than $28,000 short of the fundraising targets we need to hit for our crucial campaigns to defend online free speech, stop the EARN IT act, hold Amazon accountable, fight surveillance, and protect our basic rights.
The good news is that lots of you stepped up with donations of all sizes, and together we’ve done a lot to narrow that gap. But our fiscal year officially ends tomorrow, and as of right now we’re still $9,445.00 behind.
Will you rush a donation right now to help us close the gap before our deadline tomorrow night at midnight?
I mostly work in the background keeping track of our budget and making sure we have the resources we need to keep our small but fierce operation running. But I see every day the impact that our campaigns team has -– from getting legislation introduced to ban facial recognition to getting millions of people to take action on net neutrality.
And because I’m the one that keeps track of our books, I know the hard truth. Which is that if we don’t meet our fundraising goals we can’t pay the bills, and we’re going to have to scale back our work at a time when it has never been more important.
We know that so many people are unable to donate right now because they are facing their own financial struggles in the wake of COVID-19.
If you are in a position to contribute, I’m asking you to please give as much as you can today to support Fight for the Future's critical work defending our most basic rights in the digital age.
Our commitment to you is that we will always remain small and nimble, and use every penny that’s donated as effectively as possible. The money covers our campaigners' salaries, our web hosting and development costs, helps us make videos and social media content, pays for tools that connect tens of thousands of phone calls to Congress, and lots more.
Whether you can give a couple bucks or a couple thousand, it will make a huge difference right now.
