The Citizens Privacy Coalition of Santa Clara County is proud to announce its acceptance into the Electronic Frontier Alliance (EFA). The EFA is run by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and “is a grassroots network of community and campus organizations across the United States working to educate our neighbors about the importance of digital rights.”

As a member, we hold the following values as written by the EFA:

1. Free Expression: People should be able to speak their minds to whoever will listen.
2. Security: Technology should be trustworthy and answer to its users.
3. Privacy: Technology should allow private and anonymous speech, and allow users to set their own parameters about what to share with whom.
4. Creativity: Technology should promote progress by allowing people to build on the ideas, creations, and inventions of others.
5. Access to knowledge: Curiosity should be rewarded, not stifled.
