With 2 days left to go, PeerTube is less than $6k from reaching the next funding milestone - and only 2 days ago it was $10k.
Reaching it will add live streaming directly from your phone via the app. Think how important live streaming is, especially on days like No Kings Day to provide censorship free documentation of protests.
If you can manage a contribution, please consider it!

Some of you protesting are far too into publicly posting identifiable pics and videos of folks in protest crowds without good reason.
If you brought a camera to the protest point it at the authorities, not your compatriots. Document and publicize incidents of abuse, but don't facilitate your fellow protestors being identified and punished for showing up. Assume every face you post will be recognized and catalogued. They're not there to be your photo op.
My experience and photos from the San Diego No Kings protest. View the post from my server if you’re on mastodon for the full set.

For No Kings Day, I've chosen to walk with the military burial flag of my father-in-law, who was a WWII veteran. I was there as upon this flag, William Edward Stiles Jr. received his final salute: three volleys from the rifles of the honor guard before it was folded and presented to my mother-in-law by two Navy men. Later, at his memorial, I was astonished to discover that a white man of his era had so many Black friends.
You see my father-in-law's fight against injustice did not end when he returned from the second World War. His fight continued in the civil rights movement negotiating for teachers unions in the shadow of Brown v. Board of Education America. Out of prejudice or fear of the Klu Klux Klan, few white people were willing to do what he did because it meant also representing Black teachers unions.
