The Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows Program — a collaboration between the Ford Foundation and Mozilla — is an international leadership initiative that brings together the best emerging technology talent and civil society organizations to protect the open Web. The program fills a critical niche: it provides an ecosystem for the next generation of open Web advocates to make an early impact. As threats to digital freedom proliferate, it’s critical to have capable leaders.
Each year, Fellows spend 10 months embedded at leading advocacy organizations to safeguard the Internet as a global public resource. The 2015 host organizations are:
- American Civil Liberties Union, Massachusetts
- Amnesty International
- Association for Progressive Communications
- Free Press
- Open Technology Institute
- Public Knowledge
2015 Fellows
Paola Villarreal, American Civil Liberties Union, Massachusetts
Tim Sammut, Amnesty International
I like people that speak their mind, dislike the people that silence them, and am working with the Tech and Human Rights at Amnesty International.
