Hello John!

November is here, and we can hardly contain our excitement! 🤩

As we approach the end of the year, Creative Commons is celebrating its 20th Anniversary with a series of events taking place around the world 🌎, including an in-person event in San Francisco on 17 November. Join us in person or virtually for a celebration of the open commons.

CC's work to support better sharing for our global digital commons would not be possible without the CC Global Network and our broader community. It would be an honor if you joined us in celebrating this milestone. Here are the different ways you can get involved 👈.

Keep reading to learn how CC is working toward a #BetterInternet for #BetterSharing with the Movement for a Better Internet, upcoming events and webinars and more.

Sincerely,

The CC Team

➤ Movement for a Better Internet 🌐

As part of Creative Commons’ key strategic goal of Better Sharing, last week we joined six other organizations spanning the globe to launch the Movement for a Better Internet, a diverse community of advocates, activists, academics, and civil society groups working together to promote policies that create a better internet for people everywhere. The movement is a collaborative effort seeking to drive policy change based on a public interest vision for an internet that benefits us all.

🙋 Join the movement.
