Hello, This is Mark Surman. I'm the President of the Mozilla Foundation, and I want to thank you for being a part of our Mozilla community. We're so grateful for your support. In just a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a donation to Mozilla. But first, please let me explain why making that donation today is so important for our work to reclaim the internet. Today is December 31 – it's not just the final day of the year, but also the final day to reach our goal of raising $3,300,000 USD from the Mozilla community. As of this morning, we're very close to getting there... but are still short about $216,463 USD. Reaching this goal is not just about the money we raise. It's about the message that each donation sends to the world. When you donate to Mozilla, you are telling irresponsible tech companies that your privacy isn't something they can share or sell. When you donate to Mozilla, you are telling governments around the world that you will not let them force browsers like Firefox to censor the web. When you donate to Mozilla, you are telling activists, builders, and technologists working on community-focused AI and data tools that their projects deserve support. When you donate to Mozilla, you are saying that it's time to put people back in control of what happens online – and that it's time to reclaim the internet. So that is why reaching our goal of raising $3,300,000 USD from our Mozilla community by tonight's deadline is so important. And that is why I'm going to ask you to make a donation to Mozilla right now. Please donate $25 to Mozilla before tonight's deadline. Your gift will help reach our goal and send a message that it's time to reclaim the internet. Donations from people like you in our Mozilla community are essential. While they're not the only source of funding for our non-profit work, donations made in response to emails like this go directly to support our advocacy, research, and grantmaking programs. So thank you, for being a part of this movement. It is because of your support that we are able to bring together the people, ideas, and organisations that will reclaim the internet. I can't wait to see what we do together in 2024. Happy New Year, Mark Surman
