European Digital Rights (EDRi)

Europe

The EDRi network is a dynamic and resilient collective of 50+ NGOs, experts, advocates and academics working to defend and advance digital rights across the continent. For 20+ years, it has served as the backbone of the digital rights movement and has achieved landmark successes in digital rights in Europe. EDRi‘s mission is to challenge private and state actors who abuse their power to control or manipulate the public. We do so by advocating for robust and enforced laws, informing and mobilising people, promoting a healthy and accountable technology market, and building a movement of organisations and individuals committed to digital rights and freedoms in a connected world.
