Friends,

As the year comes to a close, I want to express my gratitude for your support and partnership throughout the year. 

2024 showed how we can impact the way technology affects people’s lives. From shaping AI policy at the state, federal, and international level, to partnering with companies and advocates to address Internet-based sexual abuse, to supporting voters and election officials in a critically important election year, CDT has been fighting to make sure technology works for people.

Next year we face big changes in the policy landscape — and further rapid advancements in innovation. CDT’s work will only be more important as we push for smart policies and collaborative solutions that safeguard our Constitutional values, protect people’s rights, and advance an affirmative vision in which technology strengthens the fabric of our society and our democracy.

I’m excited about the prospect of the work ahead because these are the times that CDT is made for.

CDT’s work has never been more critical or more central to the biggest questions we face. And I’m glad to have you by our side.

Thank you again for your ongoing support and collaboration.

Wishing you and yours a happy holiday season.

Alex
