Organizational Member Pledge
By donating to EFF and becoming an EFF organizational member, we endorse that technology should support freedom, justice, and innovation for all the people of the world–without discrimination on the basis of gender, gender identity, race, ethnic origin, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, age, neurovariance, or physical ability. Because the internet is more global and diverse than ever before, EFF is committed to being part of a diverse community working to build the future all of us deserve. EFF organizational members, by supporting EFF, share in that commitment.
More specifically, this means that organizational members endorse:
1. Free Expression - People should be able to speak their minds to whoever will listen.
2. Security - Technology should be trustworthy and answer to its users.
3. Privacy - Technology should allow private and anonymous speech, and allow users to set their own parameters about what to share with whom.
4. Creativity - Technology should promote progress by allowing people to build on the ideas, creations, and inventions of others.
5. Access to Knowledge - Curiosity should be rewarded, not stifled.
We understand that EFF does not endorse private companies or their products or services, regardless of organizational membership status. We will not use the EFF org member badge in any section that lists EFF as a “partner”, “sponsor”, or otherwise indicate that EFF has endorsed your organization.
EFF is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax ID #04-3091431. If you would like to make a donation via EFT, or have other questions, please contact Mei Harrison at mei@eff.org.
