Our work will not be finished until every computer user is able to do all of their digital tasks in complete freedom -- whether that's on a desktop, laptop, or the computer in your pocket. The fight for free software continues, and we wouldn't be here without you.

We ended the FSF's birthday week with an online anniversary event featuring both live and prerecorded segments on Friday, October 9th, from 12:00 EDT (16:00 UTC) until 17:00 EDT (21:00 UTC).
