A fundraising drive for the US Election Protection Hotline.

Not a US resident or US citizen? Hate all the major parties? No problem! You can donate!

Then watch 8 minutes of nerd jokes about open source software and how programming skews your brain, and none about politics.

@brainwane yay! I don't use bsky - is there a way to send my receipt via email if this match is not yet exhausted?

@brainwane thank you, just sent!

I also am working on matching via my employer on Monday, & have reshared standupstandup.tech here, to my local hackerspace & to my Facebook friends. Let me know if there is anywhere else you think I can help share!

@brainwane sorry I couldn't stay longer - could barely get my phone to call me in successfully tbh, I wish I could've had audio on - but I enjoyed your set :) and I'm pretty sure the "military conscription license" is the true actual way in which my local hackerspace operates

@brainwane The description is appropriately inclusive: "No matter your position on the 2024 US election, if you're an engineer, I'm guessing you want the votes counted fairly. [...] Not a US resident or US citizen? Hate all the major parties? No problem! You're donating to Election Protection via The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a nonpartisan US nonprofit founded in 1963."

Like, I was about to say that I'm not a citizen and can't donate, and saw this. No excuses!
