Freedom not Fear (FNF) is an annual meeting for civil rights activists
from all across Europe. You are invited to join us on 14-17 October,
organise discussions on your own topics, and use this opportunity to
meet EU politicians!

At FNF, civil society members meet in Brussels for four days to work for
freedom in the digitised world. They plan for and engage in action
against increasing surveillance and other attacks on civil rights. FNF
2016 is organised by volunteers and coordinated by EDRi member
Digitalcourage and via the akv-international mailing list.

>From Friday 14 October to Sunday 16 October, activists meet at Mundo-b
to discuss current topics in European data protection, surveillance and
more. Topics already planned include surveillance law metrics, the
so-called Privacy Shield, biometric RFID passports, the reform of the
ePrivacy Directive, and proposed EU contract law.

On Monday 17 October, a visit to the EU Parliament is being organised
for meetings with Members of European Parliament (MEPs) and European
Commission staff. Participants who stay on for the Monday visit are
eligible for travel allowances sponsored by MEPs Julia Reda, Jan Philipp
Albrecht and Josef Weidenholzer. For those wanting to benefit from these
travel allowances, Digitalcourage has set up an online registration page.

FNF is still looking for volunteers to take on organisational tasks,
suggest and run discussions, propose and organise MEP meetings, and
more. People wanting to help can simply edit the FNF 2016 wiki pages
hosted by AK Vorrat, or contact Digitalcourage by e-mail. Joining the
akv-international mailing list is also encouraged.
