Thanks to @eelcoa I learned today, that the Python Software Foundation ( @ThePSF ) rejected a $1.5 Million USD fund, because they demonstrated integrity by not bowing down to #Trump and instead stand by their mission statement "(...) to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community (...)", something that the US Government is blackmailing companies and organisations around the world(!) to stop doing!

This is worth supporting, and with approximately over 8 Million estimated Python programmers around the globe[1], that $1.5 Million USD could be reached by all of us with ease by giving back.

Support them here: psfmember.org/civicrm/contribu

Donate, spread the message, follow them on mastodon, and be part of showing big tech companies of how it is done right!

De Python Software Foundation (PSF) heeft 1,5 miljoen dollar geweigerd omdat het niet wilde voldoen aan de condities die #Trump er aan koppelde.

Als alle #pythondevelopers ter wereld nu een kleine donatie doen, zijn we er ook.

Dus doneer: psfmember.org/civicrm/contribu
