(Checkboxes are my progress so far, posting this while I’m donating. UPDATE: All done!)
*Why you must act TODAY: it’s the last day of 2016. By donating today, you MAY*** be able to itemize your donations and deduct them from your 2016 Federal taxes.
**Disclosure: I work for Mozilla, on open web standards like @microformats @W3C @WHATWG, user web identity & data sovereignty @IndieWebCamp, and raising privacy & security concerns for technologies in general.
Reasoning (how this helps RESIST)
In general such donations help by shifting money you would be paying in Federal taxes to a hostile administration, instead*** toward nonprofits to fight harms expected from that administration.
Specifically, to support and fund:
* Science education to fight anti-sci (climate denial, antivaxers), largest macro threats to cities, the world:
* @CalAcademy @Exploratorium
* Defenders of civil rights, in-person, body self-determination, women’s rights, digital rights, and an open, secure, & user-privacy respecting internet to fight attacks on all of them, largest threats to individuals and liberty:
* @ACLU @PPact @EFF @Mozilla
* Archives, libraries, accessible facts to fight fake-news, historical revisionism, and other kinds of deception & propaganda, perhaps the largest source of political threats to democracies:
* @InternetArchive @Wikipedia
* Local arts & media, diversity of thoughtful expression, to counter superficial talking tv heads / radio talkshows and their hateful monocultures:
* e.g. in SF: @deYoungMuseum @SFMOMA
More reasoning as noted yesterday: tantek.com/2016/365/t7/harms-expected-donate-shift-fight-resist
***You "MAY" and "instead" meaning by way of an itemized deduction on your Federal taxes, per the following (talk to your accountant, get one, IANAA, etc.)

Suggest more non-profits to help defend against & fight next year’s expected harms!
Got up late for #NPSF, went anyway. Not a bad view for Friday flats. #latergram #nofilter.
Slept badly, didn't want to get up to the alarms. Eventually it was 6amish and I stumbled into running clothes in the dark, grabbed my prepacked work bag and got a ride to Pier 7.
Jumped in and did maybe 10 min of squats, sprints, push-ups, planks. Coffee for breakfast. Went to work. Hard boiled eggs for second breakfast. Took care of a few year end things. Cheese pizza for lunch.
Left work before sunset, got in a 20 minute run back up the Embarcadero to the Exploratorium, down to SFMOMA, then over to Westfield. That'll do for today.
One more sunrise of 2016 tomorrow, the rare 366th day of the year (with an even rarer leap second at 23:59:60Z, 15:59:60 PST).
2016 will have been our literally longest year in a while.
