We’ve submitted comments to the U.S. agency NTIA to help guide its international agenda for the internet. Here’s how and why.

We’re grateful you joined us for RightsCon Toronto. Here’s a look at some of what our community achieved this year, and what’s ahead for 2019.

Global human rights organisations Amnesty International and Access Now launched a declaration on human rights and artificial intelligence at the opening of RightsCon 2018.

We’re excited to welcome your participation in RightsCon Toronto on May 16-18, whether in person or online!

To facilitate important conversations about stopping harassment, abuse, and violence, we are holding three sessions at RightsCon Toronto featuring experts in this area.

Before and during RightsCon 2017, our policies and practices failed an abuse and harassment survivor on a range of fronts. We want to publicly convey our sincere apologies.

Access Now, working in partnership with RIWI, a Toronto-based technology firm, has released the initial results of the Global Internet Sentiment Survey.

As part of our partnership with Betterplace, we are offering this year’s RightsCon participants an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the Toronto community where we have gathered.

Every year, Access Now celebrates the heroes of human rights in the digital age, and we’re looking for nominations! We need your help to find the people and groups who are working to defend our rights.
