EFFECTING CHANGE LIVESTREAM SERIES

Hi Digital Rights Supporter,


Join us on Thursday, April 16 at 9:00 am Pacific for the latest installment of our EFFecting Change Livestream Series: Can't Stop the Signal. 


Internet shutdowns have become a powerful weapon. Around the world, governments are pulling the plug to control narratives and crush resistance.

In Iran, years of digital repression have only intensified during the war with the U.S. and Israel. Depriving the Iranian people of internet access isolates millions, silences dissent, and blocks information about human rights abuses.

But access to the internet is a human right, and against all odds, people continue to find ways to stay connected.
