Overview
Open Expression is a focused effort to protect creative freedom online and to empower open, inclusive expression across digital spaces. This project champions independent creators, researchers, and community organizers who push for transparent practices, fair access to information, and robust safeguards against censorship. By supporting Open Expression, you help sustain the tools, programming, and advocacy needed to keep online culture vibrant, diverse, and accountable to its communities.
We believe that open expression thrives when ideas can be tested, debated, and refined without fear of arbitrary silencing. The work spans research, tool-building, and education—digital infrastructure that makes it easier for creators to publish, collaborate, and connect. Your contribution directly fuels those efforts, enabling sustained access to resources that foster curiosity, collaboration, and responsible innovation across platforms and borders.
To provide broader context for the mission, several related readings illuminate the themes of strategy, measurement, and inclusive design that guide this work. These pieces offer perspectives on how communities navigate complexity while defending open culture. While not required for participation, they serve as useful reflections on the ongoing pursuit of a freer, more open internet.
