Dear Ruben Safir,
[*Fight to Repair*][0] is an animated video from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), telling the story of two dedicated free software engineers rushing to fix a life-threatening problem in a vehicle's autopilot code. Coming up with a fix for the bug is only the first step in their journey, which has them facing off against the malicious proprietary software corporation DeceptiCor, and culminates in a high-speed motorcycle chase.

This video is the newest addition to the [series][1] of animated videos created by the FSF on the subject of free software. Safety regulations on the operation of vehicles and other potentially dangerous devices may be necessary, but we know this can be accomplished without denying users the right to repair. *Fight to Repair* dramatizes something we see happening more and more frequently -- companies giving themselves and their software unjust control over users, often also leaving those users in unsafe situations in order to maximize profit.
[1]: https://www.fsf.org/resources/videos/
As part of the video launch, the FSF has dedicated a [new campaign][2] and a [collaborative resource page][3] to the right to repair movement to help spread global awareness of this issue and to highlight how, when devices are powered by software, having a right to repair requires having the [four freedoms][4] that define free software.
To help us bring attention to the importance of the right to repair, and the need to maintain our rights to own and fix technology, please show your support by promoting this video.
* **Share a [message][5] on your favorite microblog.** * **Here's a short URL you can use: ** * **Use [these images][6] and the \#FighttoRepair hashtag** * **Read about FSF's fight to repair campaign on [fsf.org/ftr][7], and add to the [resources page][8]**
We only need **74** more new members before January 18 to reach our [goal of 500][9]. With your commitment, we can do even more in 2021 to help show everyone why free software is so vital to their everyday lives. We're so thankful for the massive vote of confidence in this challenging time.
Your activism has helped build this momentum, and now is a great time to keep it going. If you enjoy this video, please become an [FSF associate member][19], in order to help us to produce more high-quality educational materials about free software. Membership comes with plenty of [benefits][20], including our newest member perk: access to our [Jitsi Meet videoconferencing server][21].

You can also support us by [sharing][22] *Fight to Repair* with your community. Let's seize the moment and show how dangerous a world full of proprietary "autonomous" devices is.
Help us translate to many different languages so we can share this video across the globe! Translation [drafts and the how-to explanation][31] can be found on the LibrePlanet wiki. Once you have finalized a translation, email and we will publish it.
Thank you for fighting for free software with us into the new year!
Kind regards,
Zoë Kooyman Program Manager
