The digital age is transforming society: we believe it has the capacity to bring us greater democracy, transparency and new creative and social possibilities. But our freedoms are also under attack in the digital world: from governments and vested business interests. So we campaign against threats to your rights.
We work on issues ranging from e-voting to copyright, open data and privacy.
We do this by talking to policy-makers and other activists and working with other campaign groups (both here and abroad). We raise the profile of these issues and present our arguments through conventional and social media. And of key importance, we mobilise our supporters take part in our campaigns, for example by contacting their MP.
And we depend on regular donations to run and win our campaigns. Why not become an Open Rights supporter and join us today.
