The @EUCommission has cut important funds for #FreeSoftware in a non-transparent decision.

💥 Raise your voice and take part in an ongoing consultation to ask for sustainable long-term funds for software freedom!

We explain why and how: https://fsfe.org/news/2024/news-20240911-02.html

"Even as a non-child, I was captivated by the story from the first page to the last. Kudos to the author for packaging difficult topics such as monopolies, lobbyism, digital divide, software freedom, digital autonomy, IoT, consumer control, e-waste and much more in a child-friendly form in an easily understandable and exciting storyline."

- Jörg Luther, chief editor of the German @linuxmagazine -

#softwarefreedom #Ada&Zangemann

Reach the @EUCommission to ask for sustainable funding for #freesofware ‼️

As individual, contacting European representatives is helpful to shift opinions. As the allocation of funds for #HorizonEU 2025 is still going on, there is still a chance to get funds available for @EC_NGI
