Mozilla Advocacy
Advocacy is a relatively new area of focus for Mozilla. Our increased emphasis on advocacy is born out of recognition that, like code, public policy has an impact on the shape and health of the open Web -- and that the millions of citizens of the Web are a vital force to protect it. Our goal is to advance the Mozilla mission by empowering people to create measurable changes in public policy to protect the Internet as a global public resource, open and accessible to all. We aim to do this by growing a global cadre of leaders who can think and organize with Mozilla, and can help us deliver through four key levers of participation:
- Product
- Leaders
- Public Policy
- Learning

Mozilla Advocacy Community
The Mozilla Advocacy Community is comprised of groups of people who share the values outlined in the Mozilla Manifesto, and work to make those ideals a reality. The Community is open to all, and interacts with each other via the Advocacy Community discourse forum. (Code of Conduct here.)
The goals of this community are to educate and drive participation in local contexts to advance and protect the free and open Web through campaigns and direct educational efforts. Local campaigns can be supported by the Mozilla Advocacy team (issues can be raised via the Request for Policy Support form, or can be organized and facilitated by on-the-ground community members. These members are encouraged to join or create an Advocacy Task Force.
