📢 It’s that time of year again when we emerge from our encrypted shells to ask for your support!

2024 has been a life-changing year for Tails. We’ve continued doing what we do best -- developing Tails as an accessible shield for privacy, anonymity, and anti-censorship. And you may have heard: we merged operations with the Tor Project.

✊ This transition couldn’t have come at a more critical time for online and offline freedoms. Civil society is contracting, liberatory struggles are being silenced, and investigative journalists are being surveilled through increasingly sophisticated tools. In this landscape, our merger with the Tor Project isn’t just about operational efficiencies. By joining forces, we are strategically strengthening the infrastructure necessary for responding to these evolving challenges.

How you can help

• Make a donation: Donate through any of the channels listed on our website.

• Double your impact: Many corporations match employees’ donations to charitable organisations. Ask your employer if they do, and if they don't -- ask why! Search for our fiscal host, Riseup Labs, and specify Tails in your donation.

• Spread the word: Share this fundraiser with your network! We are on X.

While we’ve joined the Tor Project, all contributions during this campaign will be used for Tails-related activities.

Together, we can ensure that everyone -- regardless of their circumstances -- has access to the tech they need to stay safe, secure, and free.
