Hello, We know we have asked the Mozilla community to donate more frequently than normal. So we wanted to take a moment to share why your response to emails like this is so crucial to our movement to reclaim the internet. Your donation to Mozilla makes it possible to advance important privacy initiatives, protecting people in every country with the information and tools they need to control their online data. Thanks to Mozilla's ongoing research, consumers can make informed decisions to avoid products that put their freedoms online at risk. Your donation to Mozilla also supports products like Common Voice – the largest crowdsourced and open-source audio database in the world. More than 750,000 volunteer contributors have recorded 200 languages to co-create a diverse voice dataset that makes speech recognition technology more accessible for people worldwide. Most importantly, your donation to Mozilla helps keep tech power in check and accountable, putting pressure on corporations to empower people to take control of their online experiences, even as new technologies and new policy threats emerge. That is why we ask. The fight for a transparent, free, and open web is more urgent now than ever. And with your donation, we can reach our goal of $4,354,000 USD by December 31. Can you make a €10 contribution to Mozilla today to help fight to keep the internet open and accessible to all? There is no doubt that powerful tech companies use business strategies that profit from our engagement by collecting and selling our personal data. The truth is, many of us don’t know what is being done with our information. But another world is possible. We have the power to build this different future – one where our rights are protected, and where we remain in control of our information. Together we can advance technology that is built to serve people over profits. This is going to take a huge effort from the Mozilla community to come together and build a better internet. When you donate to the Mozilla Foundation, you will help fight to protect our privacy, advocate for digital rights, and ensure fast-moving new technology like AI puts people first. No one individual, organization or company can do this alone – this is why we are asking: Will you make your €10 end-of-year donation to Mozilla and help fight to keep the internet open and accessible to all? We hope you will make a donation to Mozilla, and together we can fight against irresponsible tech companies and finally put people over profit. Thank you for being part of the Mozilla community, and for everything you do for the internet. Sincerely, Your friends at Mozilla |
