Also, Mozilla made donations to political entities in the past

Which ones? Eich donated like $1000 to a political group that (I would hope) most of us disagree with, but Eich != Mozilla, and he was removed because of the backlash

  • I'm a Firefox user but I'm doubtful about donating to the Mozilla Foundation.

    They at least endorse some really far-out organizations on the Mozilla Foundation homepage[0], such as Riseup Networks.

    • Riseup is absolutely with Mozilla's mission statement, though, and all things considered pretty good:

      "Riseup provides online communication tools for people and groups working on liberatory social change. We are a project to create democratic alternatives and practice self-determination by controlling our own secure means of communications."

  • RiseUp, from their about-us page: https://riseup.net/pl/about-us Riseup’s Purpose.

    The Riseup Collective is an autonomous body based in Seattle with collective members world wide. Our purpose is to aid in the creation of a free society, a world with freedom from want and freedom of expression, a world without oppression or hierarchy, where power is shared equally. We do this by providing communication and computer resources to allies engaged in struggles against capitalism and other forms of oppression
