As from their website:
We are in a financial crisis and need your support! That's why we launched our $1 campaign, where we're asking every riseup user to give us just $1 a month!
I didn't see any other donation post for RiseUp, so I thought it'd be great to run a STEEM fundraiser for them.
What is RiseUP and why should I care?
RiseUP provides many services to whistleblowers and journalists, such as email, chat, VPN, among other things. Many people depend on them to allow them to keep the world safe.
Our purpose is to aid in the creation of a free society, a world with freedom from want and freedom of expression, a world without oppression or hierarchy, where power is shared equally. We do this by providing communication and computer resources to allies engaged in struggles against capitalism and other forms of oppression.
Even if you don't personally use RiseUP, you can help protect free speech by donating to RiseUP here: https://riseup.net/en/donate
What about this post?
I will also be donating 100% of the value of this post (i.e. both SBD and SP value in whole) to RiseUP via Bitcoin. I personally donated ~$60 of my own money just before writing this article
As soon as the post pays out, I will be sending the value of this post as a donation to RiseUp, and posting proof as a separate post.
