35 YEARS FOR INTERNET FREEDOM
---

Hi Digital Rights Supporter ,

Today we celebrate 35 years of EFF bearing the torch for digital rights against the darkness of the world, and I couldn’t be prouder.

EFF was founded at a time when governments were hostile toward technology and clueless about how it would shape your life. While threats from state and commercial forces grew alongside the internet, so too did EFF’s expertise.

Our mission has become even larger than pushing back on government ignorance and increasingly dangerous corporate power. In this moment, we're doing our part to preserve the necessities of democracy: privacy, free expression, and due process. It's about guarding the security of our society, along with our loved ones and the vulnerable communities around us.

With the support of EFF’s members, we use law, technology, and activism to create the conditions for human rights and civil liberties to flourish, and for repression to fail.

EFF believes in commonsense freedom and fairness. We’re working toward an environment where your technology works the way you want it to; you can move through the world without the threat of surveillance; and you can have private conversations with the people you care about and support the causes you believe in. We’ve won many fights for encryption, free expression, innovation, and your personal data throughout the years. The opposition is tough, but—with a powerful vision for a better future and you on our side—EFF is formidable.

Throughout EFF’s year-long 35th Anniversary celebration, our dedicated activists, investigators, technologists, and attorneys will share the lessons from EFF’s long and rich history so that we can help overcome the obstacles ahead.
