Cyberdissidents.org helps campus activists organize protests and create coalitions and programs. We supply posters and information about leading cyberdissidents in the Middle East and encourage the writing of op-eds in campus papers. We also help bring democracy experts, policy-makers and dissidents themselves to campuses across North America to share experiences and insight.
We highly encourage students to contact us. Students may also apply for an internship at Cyberdissidents.org offices in Washington or the Middle East.
