SUMMER SECURITY WEEK

Hi ​Digital Rights Supporter​,

Sometimes technology feels like a gilded cage, and you’re not the one holding the key.

Most people can’t live off the grid, so how do we stop data brokers who track and exploit you for money? Tech companies that distort what you see and hear? Governments that restrict, censor, and intimidate? No one can do it alone, but EFF was built to protect your rights. ​With your support, we can take back control.

With 35 years of deep expertise, EFF is delivering bold action to solve the biggest problems facing tech users: suing the government for overstepping their bounds; empowering the people and lawmakers to help them hold the line; and creating free, public interest software tools and guides to make the web better.

Our team is on a relentless mission to protect your civil liberties and human rights wherever they meet tech, ​but it’s only possible with your help.​

NO WALLED GARDENS. NO GILDED CAGES.

Your security online depends on the researchers, tinkerers, and creators who are willing to take privacy and free speech rights seriously. That's why EFF will eagerly protect the beating heart of that movement at this week's summer security conferences.

This renowned summit of computer hacking events—BSidesLV, Black Hat USA, and DEF CON—illustrate the key role a community can play in helping you break free of tech's trappings and retake the reins.

For summer security week, ​EFF’s DEF CON 33 t-shirt design Beyond the Walled Garden by Hannah Diaz​ is your gift at the Gold Level membership. Look closer to discover this year’s puzzle challenge: [link removed]
