Comment on Rewarding Edward Snowden's Courage

Comments

Snowden clearly indicated that he did not want this controversy to become about him, and he indicated that he only came out to vindicate the Guardian story from being discredited.

Nobody knows his current financial situation. I think we can all appreciate the ideal, but at this point, it's probably better to donate to the EFF, EPIC and the ACLU. Not to mention, maybe even get a subscription to the Guardian US in support of investigative journalism.

This. Donate to the EFF. There was a post recently that they lived off a $5-million dollar budget. It needs to be bigger.

He seemed to say he made a good deal of money too, so I doubt 15 grand will be a life-changer for him.

True that. Guy used to earn 200,000 grand a year (A little over 16 grand a month), not to mention a bunch of other goodies working for the NSA. I hardly doubt whether the 15 grand the campaign has already reached would help him.
