For over 35 years, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has highlighted leaders and organizations that promote innovation and defend digital rights in an increasingly technological world. On September 12, the EFF will hold its annual awards ceremony, a free live-streamed event aimed at recognizing the contributions of those who work tirelessly for a better future for technology users in both the public and private sectors.
Cindy Cohn, EFF’s Executive Director, will be present at the ceremony along with this year’s awardees and other prominent members of the digital rights community. This event, titled “EFFecting Change Livestream Series,” focuses on honoring those who are driving significant transformations in the realm of digital rights.
This year’s awards will be presented to several outstanding organizations and individuals. Just Futures Law will be recognized for its leadership in immigration and surveillance-related litigation. This organization advocates for the rights of immigrants and people of color in the United States, using strategic litigation to combat criminalization and deportation.
Another honoree is Erie Meyer, recognized for his work in protecting Americans’ data. With a career at the intersection of technology and regulation, Meyer has held key positions in various government agencies, advocating for privacy and the integrity of systems that handle sensitive information.
Additionally, the Software Freedom Law Center in India will be honored for its legal services in support of digital freedom, promoting innovation and open access to knowledge. This organization focuses on protecting privacy and civil liberties in the country, educating developers, and representing crucial legal causes.
The event will feature live captions, reaffirming the EFF’s commitment to inclusivity. All participants are encouraged to review the event’s code of conduct, designed to ensure an environment where all attendees are respected.
