The Beautiful & Complicated Web

Hi Supporter of Digital Freedom,

There is a traditional Japanese concept called wabi-sabi that recognizes the world as impermanent, evolving, and unfinished. You could call it the beauty of embracing imperfection. Despite the sleek, otherworldly look of today’s tech devices, the internet itself is still chaotic, inspirational, dynamic, necessary, worrisome, and, yes, beautiful.

That love for the wild web keeps EFF working hands-on to protect your privacy, security, and free expression rights daily. We need the internet’s bold creativity and ability to strengthen the powerless more than ever. Will you help shape tech’s future for the users?

Join EFF

Through July 20 only, you can be an EFF member for just $20 and get a set of embroidered Internet Action Patches representing the activism, privacy tech, and legal work powered by EFF members.

Beneath tech’s shiny veneer, there are engineers, coders, and skilled advocates like EFF fighting for the users. Your contribution will allow EFF to continue bringing nuanced technical, legal, and policy expertise to generation-defining questions that don't have easy answers.

Bless This Mess (And Do Better)

Your wonderful and complicated internet needs you! When you support EFF’s activists, attorneys, analysts, and technologists as a Copper Level member or greater, you can choose EFF’s new velvet-touch Fuzzy Monogram T-Shirt or a number of other conversation-starting member perks.

Help out today when you donate or even start a small automatic monthly gift.

Protecting the web is a dirty job, but it’s the key to a brighter future for us all—and it's only possible with you on our side.

For your rights online,
