The 2026 EFF Awards go to @accessnow.org, @7amleh.bsky.social, @deflock.org, and New Media Rights. Four EFF allies, four fights, one goal: tech that serves freedom and justice for everyone. (1/6)

@accessnow.org wins for “Fostering Change in Human Rights and Technology.” For years, they’ve worked hard to be the team companies and lawmakers can't ignore when tech policy and human rights collide. (2/6)

@7amleh.bsky.social wins for “Defending and Advancing Digital Access and Rights Across the MENA Region.” Where speaking up online can carry real risks, they’ve built the infrastructure to protect digital rights. (3/6)

@deflock.org wins for “Exposing the ALPR Surveillance Network.” Police across the US quietly built a mass license plate tracking system. DeFlock turned that invisible surveillance web into something residents can see and fight. (4/6)

New Media Rights wins for “Helping Creators Fight Back Against IP Bullies.” When creators are threatened with bogus copyright claims, New Media Rights is in their corner fighting to ensure they’re not silenced. (5/6)
