We are extremely grateful for the involvement in the past period of more than 150+ people, mostly on a voluntary basis, playing a role in our initiatives. Also a very big Thank You to the hundreds of people taking the time to talk to us on the streets for sometimes up to an hour and providing us with real, valuable insights on the status of digital rights in society. And also Thank You to all the organisations getting involved and exploring which role they can play in raising the digital rights bar. For all people!

THANK YOU - You know who you are!
