... and in #GoodNews,
"In the face of an unprecedented attack on the Open Technology Fund (OTF), the internet freedom community united to achieve a seemingly impossible victory.
Your resolve was nothing short of extraordinary. In the midst of an evolving and never-before-seen global health crisis, countless individuals and organizations leapt into action to do whatever they could to help ensure the OTF they knew and loved survived."

Global internet freedom is more important than ever before, but the current administration in the United States is planning to dismantle the most effective tool it has, the Open Technology Fund. Sign this letter and tell Congress: Don't turn your back on the Open Technology Fund, continue to make sure more people around the world are able to speak, think, and worship freely online than ever before.
