Why is Mozilla Foundation doing political activism? Is it just some money-grabbing scheme or what?

Mitchell Baker's blog:

Not a single word about Firefox, just some far-left propaganda about racial justice, empowered women in tech, Trump bad, and so.

I am not sure I want to know about your political opinions if you consider Mitchell as being "far-left" (not that I'm a great fan of hers). That is certainly not what the far left is, neither historically nor in the contemporary world.

At least partly because people like me pay them to. I like the work the Moz foundation does and I'm happy to contribute to it with donations.

Sadly, it's out of (misguided) convictions...
