Give to EFF today, and your donation will be matched 3:1!

There's never been a better time to donate to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the leading organization fighting to keep the world's Internet free and open. Never a better time because there's never been more threats facing the free Internet, from SOPA to illegal domain seizures to warrantless shutdown of Wikileaks.

And never a better time because, right now, every dollar you give to EFF will be matched three to one by Blake Krikorian and by the Brin Wojcicki Foundation.

Today's the day to power up your donation and quadruple your generosity.
