Causes I support:

 

  1. Free education for all!!! I believe it is everyone's "existence-right*" to have free access to any information available in nature. Simply, one must not pay to know or learn that "F = ma" or "E = mc^2". (*I made that word up based on the word "birthright".)

  2. Open Access to journal articles and research papers!
