Hello, You and I are living through a unique moment of opportunity. Right now, millions of people worldwide are thinking about how to more closely align their online experiences with their personal values. Many are leaving the big platforms out of principle, wanting better from the media they spend their time on. Much like when Mozilla was born, there’s an urgent and pressing need for a better, safer, more inclusive web. What could this look like? We’ve just released the 2022 State of Mozilla report—a look at where Mozilla is right now, and where we want to go, with your help. Over the past 25 years, Mozilla has strived to build another way. Now, it’s clear that this is the moment for us to begin a new chapter. Mozilla is a non-profit that uses business as a tool for public benefit to create choice and give people power over their online experience. We work in the market, and we also invest in the movement to change the internet for the better. The world needs different business models like this one, working for social good over short term financial gains. Because of your donations we've been able to: Enable tens of thousands of YouTube users to answer the call to become citizen scientists through our RegretsReporter community Hit a major milestone: 100 languages in the Common Voice dataset helping to make voice technology more diverse and inclusive Shine a light on privacy violations in digital period trackers and mental health apps. Lift up the work of people around the world who are making AI more trustworthy in our annual Internet Health Report. As we move forward, we'll be building a bigger ecosystem of people and organizations creating alternatives to the handful of tech giants controlling the internet so that consumers have more choice. Because the internet is too important to leave to the whims of a powerful elite. As Mozilla moves forward to our next chapter we resolve to continue growing and empowering our community to make the web a better place, for a better future for all. Please make a donation today to help write the next chapter of the internet. Our promise to you is that 100% of your donations to the Mozilla Foundation go directly to our campaigns and programs, so you can rest assured that you’re having a direct impact on the issues you care about. Best, Mark Surman Executive Director Mozilla Foundation |
