Donations

These are tools / projects / orgs that make some incredible contributions to civil rights and privacy-respecting tech. If any of these have made a positive difference in your life, or someone's you care about, or you just generally want to make the world a better place -- I hope you'll consider throwing a little support their way!
To the greater extent, I'm listing just those that accept crypto here. If you know of a worthwhile organization that accepts crypto donations that you'd like to see here, send me a FYI in the Guestbook and I'll take a look at it!

These do not accept crypto -- though I think it would be shame to leave them out. Also -- if you wanted to reach out to them to encourage them to on-board some crypto donation options, I'll try to include their contact info if I can find it.
