FAQ
Got questions?
What does the institute actually do?
We combine legal analysis, public education, strategic communications, and grassroots organizing around digital-rights issues in Sweden.
Do I need legal training to help?
No. We need volunteers for research, events, translation, outreach, accessibility review, and chapter coordination as much as formal legal work.
Where are your chapters based?
Our strongest organizing hubs are in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmo, Umea, and Sundsvall, with supporters active in additional municipalities.
How are donations used?
Funds support legal review, campaign materials, chapter travel, translation, public events, and emergency communications when urgent cases break.
Can schools or civic groups request a briefing?
Yes. We regularly deliver workshops and briefings tailored to classrooms, local associations, libraries, and newsroom teams.
Who leads the organization?
