Open Comms: Making Encryption Mainstream

Reps
#1

Hello Reps,

Here at Mozilla we know that our contributors help make our strategies and activities stronger, bolder, and more diverse.

That is why we are opening up the way we come up with communications strategies so we can think globally and act locally. Anyone can participate in to create more content for your local community, get your ideas shared globally and influence our overall communications strategy. Your ideas could range from a complete communications campaign, to a localized blog post, to a press pitch, to a video, to a series of Facebook posts or anything in between.

The first issue we are going to tackle together is encryption. You can find the wiki page on this project here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Open_Comms/Encryption

Do you have an idea on how to educate people around the world or in your community about the importance of encryption?

We are looking for ideas on how to:

  • Catalyze a global conversation about the importance of online privacy
  • Make encryption relatable through popular culture references
  • Simplify encryption so it can be understood and embraced by a mainstream audience

Please submit your ideas before June 3rd. Once all submissions are in we will send out an email to everyone with next steps and timing. We are so excited to see what everyone comes up with!

Thanks,

In case you are like me and jump to questions before reading the Wiki page: there is a submission form

Note on the email question: “Even if your idea is not selected to go up on an official channel, it might be a great fit for a certain community channel! This is why we are asking for your email - we would love to empower as many ideas as possible to come to life in different forms.”
