Commit to freedom

The technology overrunning our communities isn't built for the benefit of humanity: it's built so that billionaires can control us. Our lives don't have to be this way. The FSF helps empower users with free software, technology built through global collaboration, mutual respect, and above all, freedom. Join us!

The FSF has always — and will continue to — resist the encroachments of nonfree software. We're fighting to protect all computer users and build a better future. For as little as $12 USD per month ($6 USD per month for students), you get great benefits, help us reach our goal, and help build a freer and more just world. Commit to freedom and become an associate member today.

We can't do it alone. We need you help. Share this message using the hashtag #Commit2Freedom on social media networks.

• "I believe in the cause and hope for a free future. A future where change in the world happens by the hands of community efforts for the betterment of society, not the whim of corporations for monopolization and capital. I want my children to be truly free." — Davy Jones
