WITNESS

WITNESS (witness.org) makes it possible for anyone, anywhere to use video and technology to protect and defend human rights.

Working alongside both local communities and technology giants, WITNESS fills critical gaps in use of video and technology for human rights, ensuring that videos can be trusted and verified; that people standing up for their rights can stay safe and manage risk; that evidentiary videos can be found amidst mass volume; that movements and groups can use visual storytelling in strategic and impactful ways; and that new and existing technologies can enable greater citizen participation, not stand in the way of it. WITNESS has 25+ years of experience in 100+ countries maximizing civic participation and accelerating change. We reach millions of people with skills and tools, prototype emerging tech to show its usage for good, and engage technology companies to make substantive changes to their platforms so more people can speak out against injustice.
