Hello,

As we approach Giving Tuesday and the end-of-year giving season, we wanted to share both good news and bad news about the landscape of trustworthy technology and AI today.

The good news: We've made incredible strides this year in advocating for an open and trustworthy internet. Mozilla has been at the forefront of ensuring AI tools are built ethically, with transparency and accountability. Our work is helping shape policies and practices that protect your digital rights and ensure that AI serves everyone.

The bad news: The AI landscape is evolving faster than ever, and not all of it is moving in the right direction. Corporations are prioritizing profit over privacy and AI tools are being developed without adequate safeguards, meaning that people are losing control over how technology integrates into their lives. The fight to ensure that AI is safe, transparent, and fair is more urgent than ever.

This moment is pivotal. Without decisive action, we risk losing the opportunity to shape the future of AI in a way that benefits society, rather than just a few tech giants. But here's where you can help.

As we head into the largest fundraising period of the year, we’re asking dedicated supporters to make a special gift before Giving Tuesday to support Mozilla. You’re an important part of the Mozilla community, and we are so grateful. If you’re able to make a donation today, your generosity will make all the difference in advancing AI that is ethical, transparent, and works for everyone.

Can you make a gift of €10 today? Every donation helps ensure that the Mozilla community can continue leading the charge toward a future where AI is designed with integrity and humanity in mind.

Giving Tuesday marks the start of a crucial fundraising period for nonprofits, and your gift today will give Mozilla a head start to carry our momentum into the next year. The truth is, a lot of the most important investments we need to make to ensure we can keep advancing trustworthy AI in 2025 need to happen right now, or in the near future. The more resources we raise before the end of the year, the more effectively we can plan ahead to curb the growing power of irresponsible tech companies.

With your help, we can continue to fight for an internet where AI is built with your values in mind: privacy, fairness, and openness. Together, we can build a future where:

• AI empowers everyone, not just the tech companies who build AI
• Open-source solutions put control back into the hands of people
• Transparency is the standard, not the exception

As Giving Tuesday approaches, Mozilla has set some ambitious fundraising goals and your gift today will make it possible to reach them. If you're able, please consider making your donation today to ensure we start the end-of-year fundraising season strong.

Contribute €10 today to help meet this moment. Your donation will go directly toward expanding Mozilla’s efforts in advocating for responsible AI and protecting the internet as a public resource.

Thank you for standing with Mozilla and for everything you do to create a better, safer internet. We couldn’t do this without you.

Sincerely,

Your friends at Mozilla
