<P>I’m worried. Trump has a way to kill Ekō. And lots of reasons to
do it.</P>
<P>Ekō is a global organization, but <STRONG>like much of the
internet, our servers, data, email list, and website are all housed
in the US.</STRONG> And mostly with companies that have now aligned
themselves with Trump. They could shut us down in a heartbeat.</P>
<P>Would they? Well, <STRONG>we campaigned against Trump throughout
his last term and we’ve already started again. And we constantly
fight these billionaire tech companies</STRONG>, like our historic
data privacy lawsuit against Facebook in Brazil. If we’ve learned
anything about Trump and these tech bro-ligarchs, it’s that they
have thin skin – and are quick to lash out if their feelings
are hurt.</P>
<P>So we have to move countries. And fast.</P>
<P><STRONG>This isn’t easy. Shifting all our tech will be costly and
require more staff to accomplish. But if a few thousand of us can
contribute now, we can make Ekō Trump-proof.</STRONG> Will you
help?</P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></P>
<P>With the way the tech industry is going (donating millions to
Trump, allowing toxic disinformation to run wild), <STRONG>this
isn’t just the safe thing to do, it’s the right thing to
do.</STRONG> Anyone who can should stop giving money to these
oligarchs. It would also give us extra insurance for campaigning
against both Trump and these tech giants, who could otherwise shut
down our org with the flip of a switch.</P>
<P><STRONG>But these tech giants are worth billions for a reason –
they dominate the industry. The alternatives are lesser known, and
expensive.</STRONG> We might even have to create new legal entities
abroad to be able to use them. And we’d also have to self-host some
of our tech to make up for some missing features and ensure our org
and our members are 100% safe. </P>
<P><STRONG>Beyond that, we’re already seeing a push for Republicans
to shut down non-profits</STRONG> that disagree with them. HR 9495,
the “non-profit killer”, could let the government use political
motivation to strip us of non-profit status. </P>
<P><STRONG>That’s why we have to Trump-proof our movement, right
now.</STRONG> Make our tech independent and beef up our legal
defence. But it will be costly – and we need to cover our
campaigning, too. Can you chip in to help us defend our corporate
campaigning mission in the new Trump era?</P>
