Mozilla Foundation believes that better tech futures are possible—and we’re proving it by investing in projects that will make them real. We back technologists that are building alternatives that work—tools that are open, transparent, and designed to serve everyone.

They are looking for technologists who look at the current state of democracy and see opportunities to strengthen it. How might AI contribute to the online information ecosystem in a way that is transparent and accountable? How could technology be used to advance a shared understanding of facts? What new spaces might be built to help cultivate conversation and consensus rather than polarization?

In particular, they are seeking:

* Systems that help people access quality information and that ensure diverse voices can be heard.
* Technologies that make government and institutional decision-making visible, trackable, and accountable to the people affected by those decisions.
* Technologies that protect and expand civic space where people can organize, engage, and build movements without fear of surveillance or repression.
