LEGISLATIVE VICTORIES
Dear Supporter of Digital Freedom,
This is big. California’s governor has just signed two bills that go a long way toward protecting digital rights! Thank you to everyone who made these wins possible.
With California’s strong influence on tech policy in mind, EFF and our partners will continue working to ensure that the benefits of positive internet freedom legislation don’t stop there. Here’s what we’ve got:
VICTORY! YOUR RIGHT TO REPAIR

The fight isn’t over yet! Let’s keep up the momentum and make sure that technology users everywhere can benefit from strong, commonsense protections. See where you might be able to help out:
Thank you to every person who has stood with EFF’s engineers, lawyers, and advocates. Together we can cultivate tech’s future for the users.
For your rights online,
