Stand Together to Protect Democracy

EFF update

What a year it’s been. We’ve seen technology unfortunately misused to supercharge the threats facing democracy: dystopian surveillance, attacks on encryption, and government censorship. These aren’t abstract dangers. They’re happening now, to real people, in real time.

EFF’s lawyers, technologists, and activists are pushing back. But we need you in this fight.
