Mozilla Advocacy — Our 2015 Plan<\/a> for Protecting and Advancing the Open Web<\/strong><\/p>\n

Advocacy is a relatively new area of focus for Mozilla. Our increased emphasis on advocacy is born out of the recognition that, like code, public policy has an impact on the shape and health of the open web — and that a vital force protecting the web will be the millions of people who consider themselves to be citizens<\/em> of the web.<\/p>\n

Over the next few weeks, the Mozilla Advocacy team — including Andrea<\/span> Wood, Director of Digital Advocacy and Fundraising; Melissa Romaine, Advocacy Manager; Chris<\/span> Riley, Head of Public Policy; Stacy Martin, Senior Manager of Privacy and Engagement; Jochai<\/span> Ben-Avie, Internet Policy Manager; and, Alina Hua, Senior Data Privacy Manager — \u00a0will lay out our latest thinking about how we\u2019re developing public policy and creating advocacy initiatives.<\/p>\n

Our goal with Mozilla Advocacy is to advance the Mozilla mission by empowering people to create measurable changes in public policy<\/strong> to protect the Internet as a global public resource, open and accessible to all. Our three strategies to achieve this goal are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Leadership Development<\/strong> — Grow a global cadre of leaders — activists, technologists, policy experts — who advance the free and open web.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Community<\/strong> — Assist, grow, and enable the wider policy & advocacy community.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Grassroots Advocacy<\/strong> — Run issue-based campaigns to grow mainstream engagement with Mozilla and open web issues.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Each of these strategies ties directly to the goal of empowering people. Yet, as we execute there are still open questions that need input and more thought from the community. For instance, how can we create better scale and participation, recognizing that real impact happens when the community is empowered to take action on policy and advocacy initiatives. A key to this is making our own policy positions and advocacy efforts easier for people to understand and engage with.<\/p>\n

    We need you to play an active role.<\/strong> Because the web is growing in markets where we are not experts, the Mozilla community will play a central role in scaling efforts to protect the open web throughout the world. We invite you to help shape our thinking by reading the 2015 Policy & Advocacy Plan<\/a> and offering input through this thread in the Mozilla Advocacy Community<\/a>.<\/p>\n
