The Command Line Citizen

Support the Open Rights Group

6 July, 2008 (13:41) | Hacktivism | By: cmdln

ORG launched just three short years ago, bringing grass roots activism on issues of civil liberties online to Britain and the EU. In that time, they’ve established an impressive track record on issues from copyright reform to e-voting. They are also actively working against any number of other issues, including every more intrusive advertising like Phorm.

ORG just kicked off another fundraising campaign yesterday at Open Tech 2008. I was one of many online supporters who has written about ORG’s activities that they contacted to help raise awareness around this drive. You’ll notice in the sidebar a widget, one you too can embed, tracking the drive’s progress. Also, if you visit the ORG-GRO page, you can see exactly where and how they are spending your contributions.

I know I have lot of readers and listeners in Britain and the EU who could help them out. If you’ve thought about helping ORG, now is an excellent time.
