Communications: through strategic communications including the dissemination of information, videos, fact-sheets, tools and trainings, the education fund is shifting the narrative on civil and human rights to gain public will in our fight towards justice.

Expenses: $1.7M

The education fund through the center for civil rights and technology works to ensure that new technologies further civil rights protections and expand media diversity and access to broadband. Technological progress should bring greater safety, economic opportunity, and convenience to everyone. At the same time, as new technologies allow companies and government to gain greater insight into our lives, it is vitally important that technologies be designed and used in ways that respect the values of fairness and equal justice.

Expenses: $1.6M

Voting rights: the education fund's voting rights program aims to work with our partners and local communities across the nation to modernize elections and build a 21st century democracy - a democracy where all of our voices are heard.
