Once upon a time we were promised flying cars and jetpacks. Yet we’ve arrived at a more complicated timeline where rights advocates can find themselves defending our hard-earned freedoms more often than shooting for the moon. In tough times, it’s important to remember that your vision for the future can be just as valuable as the work you do now.
Thirty-five years ago, a small group of folks saw the coming digital future and banded together to ensure that technology would empower people, not oppress them—and EFF was born. While the dangers of corporate and state forces grew alongside the internet, EFF and supporters like you faithfully rose to the occasion. Will you help celebrate EFF’s 35th anniversary and donate in support of digital freedom?
Protect Online Privacy & Free Expression
Together we’ve won many fights for encryption, free speech, innovation, and privacy online. Yet it’s plain to see that we must keep advocating for technology users whether that’s in the courts, before lawmakers, educating the public, or creating privacy-enhancing tools. EFF members make it possible—you can lend a hand and get some great perks!
Summer Swag Is Here
We love making stuff for EFF’s members each year. It’s our way of saying thanks for supporting the mission for your rights online, and I hope it’s your way of starting a conversation about internet freedom with people in your life.
Celebrate EFF’s 35th Anniversary in the digital rights movement with this EFF35 Cityscape member t-shirt by Hugh D’Andrade! EFF has a not-so-secret weapon that keeps us in the fight even when the odds are against us: we never lose sight of our vision for a better future. Choose a roomy Classic Fit Crewneck or a soft Slim Fit V-Neck.
And enjoy Lovelace-Klimtian vibes on EFF’s new Motherboard Hooded Sweatshirt by Shirin Mori. Gold details and orange poppies pop on lush forest green. Don’t lose the forest for the trees—keep fighting for a world where tech supports people irl.
