More than two-thirds of the Commons exists on content platforms<br>
like Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, and Wikipedia. The main<br>
way people share with Creative Commons is by using the platforms<br>
they already know and love, so working with them is vital.<br>
<br>
The SpaceX image linked below and over 300,000 other images in<br>
the public domain wouldn't be freely available if it wasn't for<br>
CC.<br>

<br>
To meet our strategic goal of growing the Commons, we must have<br>
the resources to continue developing our relationships with<br>
content platforms. Will you help fund this crucial work by<br>
making a $25 or more contribution to our $50,000 fundraising<br>
drive?<br>

<br>
Last year, CC had no resources dedicated to working with content<br>
platforms. This year, we've begun to change that, and are<br>
already seeing results. Just last week, the popular writing<br>
platform Medium added the CC license suite, and in April Flickr<br>
added CC0 and the Public Domain Mark -- their first major update<br>
to CC licensing since they first adopted the licenses.<br>
<br>
We saw the benefits almost instantly: in the first two weeks<br>
after Flickr added CC0, over 130,000 new images were added,<br>
including all of the spectacular images from SpaceX.<br>
<br>
Across the Commons, we need to update our tools and<br>
technology. We want to support unique licensing IDs to allow<br>
content analytics; improve discovery and curation through better<br>
search; and drive more collaboration and contribution to the<br>
global photography archive through our mobile app beta, The<br>
List.<br>
<br>
Those are just a few of the exciting projects we're working on,<br>
but our ability to continue depends on raising the funds<br>
necessary to support our work.<br>
<br>
Help us grow the Commons. Ensure Creative Commons integration on<br>
platforms and the development of new tools to make CC licenses<br>
easier and more useful to creators and re-mixers by making a<br>
contribution today!<br>
