The Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows Program (https://advocacy.mozilla.org/open-web-fellows/ <https://advocacy.mozilla.org/open-web-fellows/>) call for applications is open. They’re seeking talented developers, activists, educators and other technologists eager to protect the open Internet. The goal? Combat threats to digital freedom and defend policy that keeps the Web open and free.

Our 2016 cohort will be a global group. This year’s host organizations are:
Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law —Nairobi, Kenya
The Citizen Lab, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto—Toronto, Canada
ColorOfChange.org—New York, NY
Data & Society—New York, NY
Derechos Digitales—Santiago, Chile
European Digital Rights (EDRi) —Brussels, Belgium
Freedom of the Press Foundation—San Francisco, CA
Privacy International—London, United Kingdom

This is a 10-month fellowship opportunity. The application window is open until March 20, and they will announce the new fellows in June. Fellows begin work in September of this year. For more information, visit https://advocacy.mozilla.org/open-web-fellows/.
