* '''Personal Democracy Forum''' — The Policy & Advocacy crew is headed to [https://personaldemocracy.com/ PDF] in New York this week. We are a sponsor of the conference and will be running a session on ‘Re-Imagining Advocacy to Protect the Free and Open Web’. Together with panelists from EFF, Fight for the Future, Engine Advocacy and Facebook, we are hoping to share and hear new ideas to boost the global open web movement.

* '''Reset the Net''' — This week is the anniversary of the first revelations from Edward Snowden about NSA surveillance, in which the world learned that the NSA is exploiting weak links in Internet security to spy on the entire world, twisting the Internet we love into something it was never meant to be. A year ago, Mozilla helped launch StopWatchingUs to apply pressure to leaders for reform. This year, Mozilla will be joining with Fight for the Future and a host of other organizations to launch a new effort called ‘Reset the Net’ to stop mass surveillance by building proven security into the everyday internet. We encourage all Mozillians to visit ResetTheNet to learn about security tools and steps they can take, including take the pledge for better security on June 5th.
