[PSF-Community] Rebuilding the PSF Fundraiser Q4 2020 - Donate Today!

[Betsy Waliszewski]

Hi fellow Pythonistas!

As some may have seen, the PSF announced that PyCon US 2021
<https://pycon.blogspot.com/2020/12/announcing-pycon-us-2021.html> will be
a virtual experience.

PyCon US generates over 65% of the PSF’s revenue. With PyCon 2020 and 2021
happening virtually, the PSF may lose over one million USD of expected
revenue for those two years.

Your support is more important now than ever! If you are able to, please
consider donating!

DONATE TODAY! <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/2020-q42020-drive/>

If donating is not an option, help spread the word about the fundraiser!
Below are some resources our staff put together for community members to
use.
