Join us at the 24th annual Pioneer Awards to celebrate those who fight to clear the way for online freedom!
Next Thursday, we'll gather in San Francisco to proudly honor this year's winners: late international privacy expert Caspar Bowden, global human rights and security researchers The Citizen Lab, international internet access champions Anriette Esterhuysen and the Association for Progressive Communications, and digital community advocate Kathy Sierra. Learn more about the exciting accomplishments of the 2015 honorees at eff.org/pioneer.
The ceremony also features a special conversation with journalist Kashmir Hill and whistleblower Edward Snowden, to be recorded prior to the ceremony and presented the evening of the event. Kashmir Hill is a senior editor at Fusion's Real Future and has reported extensively on the future's proliferating clashes with our present, with stories about the NSA's data center in Utah, law enforcement body cams, Bitcoin, and more. Edward Snowden is the whistleblower whose courageous disclosures about the NSA's mass surveillance programs spurred worldwide awareness and inspired renewed urgency in the fight for privacy and digital rights.
