If you haven't yet joined the FSF as an associate member, now is the time to do so. We hope you will also join many of our supporters by making a one-time tax-deductible donation.

Over the last 8 weeks, we've seen appeals from FSF management, Peter Brown and John Sullivan, an appeal from FSF board member Benjamin Mako Hill, and appeals from FSF staff members Matt Lee and Brett Smith.

If you support free software, now is a crucial time for the FSF. Your financial support, in addition to your ongoing support for our work, is now vital for us to succeed. The poor economy has left our associate membership and donations with lower support than in previous years and we really need your help at this time.
