Paov, June has been a huge month for the C-51 fight, and for OpenMedia in general. We’ve raised over $30,000 in one time donations, and this is your last chance to donate before our June triple fundraising drive comes to an end.
The verdicts on the government’s C-51 reforms have started to roll in, and it’s clear that major work still needs to be done1. The reforms set out in Bill C-59 reflect some hard fought gains we’ve made in protecting Canadian privacy, but they still don’t address many fundamental privacy concerns that we helped voice during the consultation.
We’ve protested, we’ve flooded their public consultation, and we’ve created a letter writing tool that’s already gotten over 3500 letters to Canadian MPs. Together we’ve had a huge impact in how the bill has changed, and all of this was made possible... through grassroots donations.
The fight is only going to get bigger from here. To give you an idea of our game plan, once the government determines what committees the bill is going to be debated in, we’re going to be sending out high impact actions targeted to individual MPs.
We’re going to need your support to execute these efforts, and with triple funding coming to an end in 48 hours, your donation will go three times further right now than later in the year. If you’re only going to donate to us once this year to power this fight, donate now.
Thanks,
Chris from OpenMedia
