| We're fighting to make the internet better for you — and for everyone else around the world. This work depends on your support; will you donate today? Yes, I'll chip in | | Hi – It's been a big year so far campaigning for your safety and privacy on the web. And we've got ambitious plans for making the internet healthier for you and the billions of people who depend on it. So far in 2019 Mozilla has: - Demanded and won greater transparency and accountability on political advertising, data collection practices, and other issues from Google, Amazon and Facebook;
- Showcased safe, and not-so-safe, tech products through a special *Privacy Not Included Buyer's Guide Valentine's Day edition;
- Amplified the work of experts like Renee DiResta who are tackling long-term issues affecting internet health;
- Shined a bright spotlight on the issues impacting the web through our 2019 Internet Health Report.
That was just the beginning. In the second half of the year, Mozilla will be focused on making sure AI helps make technology better for everyone, not just the pockets of big tech. In addition to this work, we plan to: - Build out another Buyer's Guide to keep you informed and safe while shopping this holiday season;
- Convene the world's leading thinkers and activists on open source, privacy, security and decentralization at our 10th annual MozFest celebration;
- Ramp up pressure on manufacturers and retailers to adopt minimum security standards for their connected devices and apps;
- Recruit more expert fellows to tackle the long-term issues affecting internet health;
- Push companies to give people better agency over their lives online.
This work depends on financial support from you, the Mozilla community. It is your grassroots support that allows us to take on the big tech companies with advocacy campaigns, like our call to Facebook and Google to let the public analyze their sponsored political content. It is also your support that allows us to publish the *Privacy Not Included Buyer's Guide, pressure retailers to take unsafe internet-connected devices off the market, and advocate for manufacturers to change their default settings to private. But we can't do it without you. Give to the Mozilla Foundation So if you'd like to see a better, safer, more private internet, please make a contribution to the Mozilla Foundation today — and let us know we'll have the resources to carry out our programs for the rest of 2019. Thank you! And if you have thoughts on our plans for the rest of this year, I would love to hear from you — drop me a note back at msurman@mozillafoundation.org. Cheers, Mark Surman
