Wondering how you can help Courage? There are several things you can do to support our current beneficiaries, prepare for future truthtellers and cultivate better security practices online. No donation is too small, no action is meaningless. Here’s how you can make a difference:
Donate
Donating is the easiest, fastest and most tangible way you can support Courage now. Weโre establishing a defense fund that will serve long-term as a safety net for whistleblowers in peril, present and future. We need to finance legal teams, as persecuted sources often canโt afford to pay their own court costs, and legal defense against state prosecutions can amount to many hundreds of thousands of dollars. We also need resources to provide websites and campaign teams to publicize the issues whistleblowers have disclosed, advocating across global media and building support networks around the world.
Campaign
The truthtellers supported by Courage have risked life and liberty for what they believe in: the power of the truth, the public’s right to know, a fair and open internet, and freedom from invasive surveillance. These truthtellers face political persecution and prosecution, and we believe it is important to campaign not only for their protection, but for the information they risked so much to reveal.

Secure your communication
In an age of mass surveillance, with powerful governments and private intelligence firms collecting as much of your data as they can, it’s wise for everyone to protect the privacy of their electronic communications.
