*Open Internet Leaders Program*

Democracy has always required the free flow of ideas. In the modern age,
this means a free, open internet where all citizens can freely voice their

necessary to strengthen democratic engagement and governance, enable equal
participation in the market economy, and promote social accountability.

the Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA)
<https://www.cima.ned.org/> - is a nine month non-resident leadership
program that empowers emerging leaders from across the globe to build their
advocacy and organizing skills to protect internet freedom.
Open Internet for Democracy Leaders are a unique cohort of global advocates

about protecting and promoting an open internet.
This program is designed to support open internet advocates organizing
