Dear Free Software Supporter,

Do you need a last-minute gift these upcoming holidays, one that will
keep on giving for the rest of the year? Free your
own digital life and the ones of those you love by opting to give
them a gift that will raise their social consciousness, create more lasting
cheer, and defend #UserFreedom:

**[Gift a Free Software Foundation (FSF) associate membership!][1]**

[1]: [link removed]

With a gifted [membership][1], your friends and loved ones will
be joining a vibrant movement for software freedom, and helping
us to amplify the free software message everywhere. Each new
member exponentially increases our reach, and our ability to make
change. A gifted membership will count towards our [year-end
goal of 500 new members][2], and keep us fighting the good fight
for computer users' freedom in 2022.

Your friend, colleague, or loved one will be able to redeem their membership
from the moment your donation is complete. After donating, you'll receive a code
and a printable page so that you can present your gift as a physical object,
if you like. The membership is valid for one year, and includes the many [benefits][3]
that come with an FSF associate membership, including
a USB member card, email forwarding, access to our Jitsi Meet
videoconferencing server and member forum, discounts in the
FSF [shop][4] and on ThinkPenguin hardware, and many more.

Giving Guide][5], or have a look at the [great list of potential
gifts][6] our operations assistant Davis Remmel made for this
very purpose!

Finally: don't forget that you don't have to spend money to give
people the gift of freedom: Now is the perfect time to revisit
and share our [ShoeTool video][7], and our list of [free software
tools for staying in touch][8] – and use them as a conversation-starter
to explain software freedom to your family. Share the video
on your [social media][9] using the #UserFreedom hashtag – you can also
use the short URL <[link removed]>.
