This week's #donationDonnerstag is for the #IndigenousLiteracyFoundation: https://www.indigenousliteracyfoundation.org.au/

From their website:

"Only 34% of Indigenous [Australian] Year 5 students in very remote areas are at or above national minimum reading standards, compared to 95% for non-Indigenous students in major cities, according to the 2017 National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN)."

I just helped build literacy in remote Indigenous Australia. You can too!

today's #donationDonnerstag is for the #CenterForOpenScience (#COS), because of their amazing work towards supporting #OpenScience principles. -> https://cos.io/
I saw Brian Nosek talk recently in Brisbane (more specifically about reproducibility), and it only confirmed how much the #research ecosystem needs those essential principles to go forward, by restoring trust and building upon more solid knowledge. ✊ 🌈

Alright – I started #donationDonnerstag two weeks ago and forgot to follow up last week, so catching up today: donating to @mobilizon as they are currently running a fundraiser. This project is hoping to become a decentralised, open source alternative to e.g. Facebook events and Meetup, to really empower event hosts, community organisers and federated social network users. The beautiful people at @Framasoft are supporting the effort, and I am really looking forward to using it. #fediverse

Alright, starting a weekly thing titled #donationDonnerstag. There are so many organisations, individuals, collectives doing amazing things around this world, and I want to highlight them once a week by giving some money and sharing a little bit about them.
I'm kicking it off with #ElectronicFrontiersAustralia, who are running a fundraising campaign to give more visibility to #digitalRights in a country that, in my opinion, really needs it.

Let's send a message to Canberra that the new government will need to take digital rights seriously for a change.
