Hearts at the PSF are full today from the responses about the recent grant turn down news we shared. All of your kind words of support & solidarity, as well as your donations & new memberships, mean the world to us. We're so grateful to be in community with each of you ๐Ÿ’› ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’™
While in some ways the decision was tough, knowing the #Python community would have our backs made it easier. We want to thank you deeply for the words of support across many platforms- but also your actions.
In the past day we raised $65K+ USD and are thrilled to welcome 137 new Supporting Members! We truly hope you continue to follow us and share this story and more as we kick off our annual fundraiser in November. Thinking about becoming a PSF member?

@ThePSF Python community not beating the "best community ever" allegations

@ThePSF That means only 130 people/companies donated what my company did (on average). Out of the millions of companies where #Python is mission-critical?

COME ON PYTHON USERS! Tell your boss how much damage undetected malware in PyPi would cause - and cost. Get them to donate a fraction of that cost NOW to prevent it happening - probably the best return on investment your company will ever get!

@ThePSF this week as well #pycharm has fund raiser for @django
@ThePSF Thank you for staying true to your values, this is extremely refreshing in these times and also gives a lot of hope for the future? Thanks โ™ฅ๏ธ
@ThePSF As a supporting member for the last couple of years: thank you for standing up for your principles and for the community! ๐Ÿ

@ThePSF

Thank you for thinking of usโ€ผ๏ธ โค๏ธ I learned #Python earlier this year with Stanford Universityโ€™s Code in Place. The future of constructive web development with a good user experience is just getting started. ๐Ÿ

@ThePSF thank you for sticking to your guns!

I am currently organising PyCon Ireland and immediately felt very proud of our community when I read the news.

@ThePSF can i donate with a SEPA transfer?
@ThePSF thank you for making this statement! You may want to fix the Donate link in your bio, it is broken...
@ThePSF
I was so saddened, that you got put in a position where you have to make that call, but also very glad that you did the right thing and decided not to give in to fascist policies. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’™
