The issues are big and complex and I don't know where to start. OpenMedia has offered me a place to go whose approach and agenda make sense to me. So if I can make some small regular contribution to encourage the OpenMedia team, I am there.

We asked supporters to share stories about why they support our work for our special December Allies Drive – our yearly drive for monthly donors. This story, from Sue Smee, a 65-year-old woman in Ontario, was one of our favourites:
Dear pro-Internet community,
For me, OpenMedia speaks to hope for a more humanitarian and democratic world, and a sense that I can be part of that. I think the Internet is a powerful tool for democracy.
I feel quite powerless in the face of the threats to the Internet by power brokers that seem to govern the world. The issues are big and complex and I don't know where to start. OpenMedia has offered me a place to go whose approach and agenda make sense to me. So if I can make some small regular contribution to encourage the OpenMedia team, I am there.
I look at what is happening – I am very worried for our world and the deck feels stacked. I think, the least I can do is try my best to support and encourage those younger than me who can lead us. So I sign on with OpenMedia and contribute as best I can.
OpenMedia offers hope. Please help OpenMedia continue their important work and give hope to people like you and me.
Sincerely,
Sue, with support from the OpenMedia team
P.S. However you’ve come to be a part of OpenMedia, know that we work for you. Please join us during our December Allies Drive while your monthly contribution to our work is matched dollar for dollar. Time is running out and it’s critical to our work going forward.
