Dear Free Software Supporter,

In the final weeks of 2019, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) welcomed nearly 300 new associate members. That is a strong achievement, but we need to boost our numbers further in order to continue our work to educate others about free software and defend copyleft.

Every day, millions of new people globally are gaining access to software, and are integrating it into their lives. We need to continue to spread the message of software freedom far and wide to reach these newcomers, and the millions of longtime software users who are unaware of how proprietary software is being used to exploit and abuse them. It’s a big challenge.

At the beginning of this new decade, we're inspired to dream up a freer future. To help turn this dream into reality, we're extending our membership drive and our offer for exclusive associate membership gifts as an extra incentive for people to join the movement until January 17th.

Will you start out the new decade with an FSF associate membership?

If you can't join us yourself, we also offer these membership gifts as a special thank-you gift if you convince just three others to join the FSF -- email [email protected] and let us know who they are.

You care about free software, just like we do. Let your friends, family and followers know that free software needs their support. If you're looking for something to help get the message across online, we recommend using the ShoeTool video, as well as these images.

Let's make 2020 the start of a decade in which we liberate the future for generations to come.

Kind regards,

Zoë Kooyman
Program Manager
