If they come out in support of an issue, they will also gain support from people on that side of the issue. Free software goes pretty strongly against market capital as a philosophy. It goes against the idea that people will pay for things they need/want. It goes against the idea that commerce will spawn progress. That's fine, and people don't need to be that ideological. But if you want to promote free software, then: basic income, single payer, the 30 hour week, greater research spending, stronger practice of public domain-ing government financed work will all help And lots of more left-leaning orgs will go along that.
