As the uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, and elsewhere get new momentum from Twitter and other social networks, new questions are being raised about how nonprofits conduct their work overseas—especially when they need to deal with censorship and security concerns.
What lessons do the uprisings hold, and how can nonprofits and foundations best promote freedom of expression in a time of political change?
Join us on Tuesday, May 31, at noon U.S. Eastern time for a live online discussion with two advocacy experts.
The guests:
Helen Brunner is director of the Media Democracy Fund, which works with foundations and other donors to award grants to programs that work to protect the rights of the public in the digital age.
Brett Solomon is the co-founder and executive director of Access, a nonprofit human-rights organization that helps people outside the United States who are subjected to censorship maintain Internet access, including political activists and civil-society groups. Previously, he was the campaign director at Avaaz.org, a New York advocacy group, and executive director of GetUp!, an Australian political organization.
