The [Electronic Frontier Foundation](https://www.eff.org) (EFF) is a nonprofit that has been tirelessly defending your digital rights since 1990. Here's a quote from the about page of their website:

> "Today, EFF uses the unique expertise of leading technologists, activists, and attorneys in our efforts to defend free speech online, fight illegal surveillance, advocate for users and innovators, and support freedom-enhancing technologies.
> 
> Together, we forged a vast network of concerned members and partner organizations spanning the globe. EFF advises policymakers and educates the press and the public through comprehensive analysis, educational guides, activist workshops, and more. EFF empowers hundreds of thousands of individuals through our Action Center and has become a leading voice in online rights debates.
> 
> EFF is a donor-funded U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that depends on your support to continue fighting for users."

Organizations like the EFF are more important now than they've ever been. They run [campaigns](https://act.eff.org/action "EFF Campaigns") and [events](https://www.eff.org/events/list?type=event "EFF Events"), host [podcasts](https://www.eff.org/taxonomy/term/11579/ "EFF Podcasts"), make [press releases](https://www.eff.org/updates?type=press_release "EFF Press Releases"), fight [legal battles](https://www.eff.org/cases "EFF Legal Cases"), promote [digital privacy tools](https://www.eff.org/pages/tools "EFF Tools"), document [police surveillance tech](https://atlasofsurveillance.org/ "EFF Atlas of Surveillance"), and much more in the name of protecting digital civil liberties.

My main personal interest in the EFF is their press releases. I find them informative and they help me stay updated. For others who might want to easily follow the EFF, here is [a list of their RSS feeds](https://www.eff.org/rss "EFF RSS Feeds").

If you can, please [make a donation](https://supporters.eff.org/donate/join-eff-4 "EFF Donate") (not with cryptocurrency) or contribute to their work in other ways.
