I talked with Dave while they were putting the fellowship together and it sounds really exciting.

Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows... To: Catherine Bracy &lt;bracy(a)codeforamerica.org&gt; Hi Catherine, Hope all is well. Thanks so much for the guidance over the past few months. I’m excited to let you know that we launched the Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows program last week. See the program here: www.mozilla.org/advocacy. We’re accepting applications for 2015 Fellows now, and I am hoping that you can help spread the news to your network — seems like an ideal opportunity for Code for America alumni. Here is a bit more about the program: - Protecting the Internet -- 2015 Fellows will work on a range of issues -- from net neutrality to privacy to anti-surveillance -- that are core to protecting the free and open web. - Attracting a Diversity of Talent -- Fellows will receive a stipend plus all sorts of living expense add ons. We want to get the best and most diverse pool of talent out there. - Using Tech to Inform the Policy Discussion -- Fellows will serve as ambassadors, mentors, and guides to their nonprofit hosts. They will work in the open helping to better inform the policy discussion throughout civil society and government. The application window closes in December. It would be so helpful to the program — and to building the army to protect the Internet -- if you would let your network know about the Fellowship opportunity. Let me know what you think and, if you can help, I’ll send you messaging (tweets, posts, etc.) to make it easy to spread the news. I’d also love to hear any ideas you have as we shape and build the program for the future. Thanks so much! --Dave ps: Here is what The Washington Post had to say about the program: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/09/30/mozilla-just-5… __________ Dave Steer Director, Advocacy Mozilla Foundation Email: davesteer(a)mozillafoundation.org Cell: 415-845-5110 Twitter: @davesteer and @MozillaAdvocacy www.mozilla.org/advocacy -- If you are having trouble unsubscribing via brigade+unsubscribe(a)codeforamerica.org, please email brielle(a)codeforamerica.org. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Code for America Brigade" group.
