The Internet has transformed how we work, learn, and express
ourselves. It has connected us with each other and sparked bold
thinking about how to create a more fair and just world. Building that
better world—and living in it—depends on an open, secure, and
equitable Internet.
What is philanthropy's role in addressing the challenges and potential
of our digital society? Can we collaborate, as we have in the past on
other crucial issues, to bend the arc of progress and ensure that
everyone shares in the tremendous opportunity the Internet offers?
Have we thought big—really big—about what the digital revolution can
mean for the common good?
At this event, the presidents of the Knight, Open Society, Mozilla,
and Ford foundations—along with a special surprise guest—will come
together with leading figures from government, philanthropy, business,
and the tech world to launch a major new partnership, explore shared
principles, and get ambitious about the next generation of innovation
for social change and progress.
Speakers include Citizenfour filmmaker Laura Poitras, PBS NewsHour
co-anchorGwen Ifill, World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, ACLU
principal technologistChris Soghoian, Comptel CEO Chip Pickering,
Berkman Center co-director Susan Crawford, ACLU Speech, Privacy and
Technology Project director Ben Wizner, the Centre for Internet and
Society executive director Sunil Abraham, MIT Center for Civic Media
director Ethan Zuckerman, Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle,
National Domestic Workers Alliance special projects director Alicia
Garza, Philips Academy Head of School John Palfrey, and Columbia
