Throughout the many years that EFF has been around, our goal has remained consistent: creating a future where you have your rights when you go online, and one where they are enhanced by new technologies.
Our goal isn't the only part of EFF that has remained consistent: for decades, the digital freedom supporters that lift our organization have been stalwart allies that help ensure we can continue fighting for privacy, free expression, and innovation online.
It's because of these supporters that we can fight tough battles, but also take the time to celebrate our accomplishments and come together as a community.
Starting off with our 7th annual Tech Trivia Night and 15th annual Cyberlaw Trivia Night-both filled with delicious food, drinks, and of course, a myriad of trivia questions to test the contestant's tech and internet culture know-how.
Both events boasted a full house, with Cyberlaw Trivia even selling out tickets.
EFF's Cybertiger, Cooper Quintin, and our judges for Tech Trivia.
We didn't want to stop there, so next up we hosted our Spring Members' Speakeasy in Oakland.
Attendees were invited to a super-secret location for drinks and a chance to meet EFF staff and other like-minded digital freedom supporters.
Members even got a behind-the-scenes look into how we fight for encryption and oppose bad bills from Congress with EFF's Director of Federal Affairs India McKinney.
Of course, we got to see EFF supporters in full force when we headed to Las Vegas for the summer security conferences-BSides Las Vegas, Black Hat USA, and DEF CON. This week, consisting of these extraordinary conferences, is always one of the busiest times of the year for EFF, and this year was no exception.
You'd think we'd take a break and slow down after that hectic week in Las Vegas.
We were even able to record the event for folks to watch at home if they couldn't attend-give it a watch if you couldn't make it.
The EFF Awards are a great opportunity for EFF to catch up with the community and shine light on others doing great work in this space.
To cap the year off, we wanted to focus on how widespread and diverse our membership base can be.
With 2023 ending, it's good to reflect on what happened over the last year.
I think that it is safe to say that throughout EFF's existence, particularly the last few years, EFF members have been one of the driving forces of the organization and are the reason we can continue working towards a better digital future.
