Here's a great opportunity for folks interested in Internet advocacy. I
talked with Dave while they were putting the fellowship together and it
sounds really exciting.

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
