Dear Open Internet for Democracy Community Members,

We are excited to announce that the first draft of the Open Internet for
Democracy Playbook <https://openinternet.global/playbook> is open for
public feedback, and we welcome your input! The Open Internet for Democracy
Playbook serves as a companion piece to the Democratic Principles for an
Open Internet <https://openinternet.global/read-principles>, which is a
framework for understanding what principles must be upheld in order for the
internet to foster democracy. The Playbook includes ideas and
recommendations for the advocates of digital freedoms, focusing on tailored
approaches to advocacy that apply across diverse local contexts.

This Playbook is not designed to address every advocacy scenario - but we
wanted to be sure to link advocates with a wide array of resources and
strategies to assist them with their work. This is where YOU come in! Given
that the strength of any resource is improved through incorporating
collective knowledge - we wanted to ask for your feedback and input on
the draft
playbook <https://openinternet.global/playbook>.

Currently, the Playbook looks at four different scenarios:


   1.

   Responding to government policy or proposed policy
   2.

   Pushing back against internet disruptions
   3.

   Building digital resilience of marginalized communities
   4.

   Building digital rights literacy


For each scenario, we are looking for your suggestions for the following:


   -

   What online (or offline) advocacy tools or resources have you used that
   have been helpful?
   -

   Which training materials (in any language) have you found effective as
   it relates to each scenario?
   -

   Which advocacy organizations/groups should be listed in the Playbook as
   useful partners or resources?
   -

   Any approaches or techniques for each scenario that we’ve missed?
   -

   Any other suggestions you have!


You can either add your comments and suggestions directly to the Google
Doc, or you can email us at opennetprinciples at gmail.com as well.
Contributors will be listed in the acknowledgments section, unless
requested otherwise.

Thank you for your support to help us make this a useful and practical tool
for activists working under difficult circumstances to preserve an open and
democratic internet.

Best,

The Open Internet for Democracy Team
