Mozilla, because we need more than one web rendering engine.
EFF, because they fight for a bunch of tech issues I support.
Software Freedom Conservancy, because they do a bunch of legal legwork for open source projects.
Internet Archive, because they're doing a bunch of good work preserving our culture.
TPT (PBS), because we should have high quality non-commercial education and entertainment.
ACLU and ACLU-MN, because they fight for important legal rights for all Americans and Minnesotans.
Planned Parenthood, because they provide critical education and medical services for underserved people.
- JamesSwift 7y agoI really want to be on board w/ the EFF because of all the good I see them doing on the legal side, but the PR department (or whoever writes for them) are just such a putoff. It makes me second-guess how effective they would be with my money. Obviously no org is perfect, I just really wish they would tone the language down to a more "level headed" message for the greater good.
- inetknght 7y agoWhat do you think is wrong with EFF's message?
- JamesSwift 7y agoThe lowest hanging fruit article I can dig up from memory is this: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/01/eff-pries-more-transparency-zero-days-governments-grasp https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/01/eff-pries-more-transpa... The title and first paragraph set an unnecessary tone. There are ways to say the same thing which aren't immediately off-putting to those not "on your side" yet.
- _bxg1 7y agoThis is how I feel about the ACLU. I donate to them because they're helping families separated on the southern border, but their PR is just so... Fox News. Except left-wing of course.
- mindcrime 7y agoOh yeah, Internet Archive. Good call. I need to add them to my list. They do, indeed, do super valuable work.
