OpenMedia is awesome :)

Besides donating to EFF—which we strongly support, since we're member supported—there are quite a few ways to help:

Take action: We have a number of outstanding campaigns on our action center that let you reach out to your congressperson to let them know you want software patents reformed, or you want to protect first sale rights, or you don't want backroom negotiations for international IP treaties. Call Congress, schedule meetings, tweet at them... they heard the thunderclap of the Internet last year, and they will hear it again.

Spread the word: Tweet. Post on Facebook. Dust off your Google Plus. Get on a soapbox. Tell your friends and family. We need more people to know about the issues and our efforts.

Here's a page with a bunch of ways you can help!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is an organization that protects your civil liberties in the digital age. Any time freedom of speech, privacy, or innovation is threatened online—which is often as corporations exert their undue influence and governments repeatedly prove they don't understand the Internet—EFF is there to fight back.

or, like, EFF defends the Internet.
