Building and Uniting a Movement in the Arab World

In November 2019, HRF held its first Oslo Freedom Forum (OFF) Working Retreat for the Arab World, bringing together a group of 60 human rights advocates. The global community established by OFF believes that all people are entitled to live freely without fear of government oppression. In that spirit, we are dedicated to representing a diverse group of voices and bringing their stories to the world. In addition to our global experts, participants at the OFF Working Retreat hailed from 13 countries within the Middle East and North Africa: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Tunisia. Given the revolutionary developments that took place throughout 2019 in the region, including countrywide protests demanding representative governance, this event could not have been more timely.

Bitcoin for Nonprofits: A Guide To Help Your Movement Achieve Financial Freedom

In the winter of 2018, Anna Chekhovich was sitting in the Moscow offices of the Anti-Corruption Foundation when the call came. Their bank accounts had been frozen. All of them, overnight, on orders from the Kremlin. For most organizations, this would be a death sentence: no salaries, no legal fees, no operational budget, no oxygen. But years earlier, when the political climate was already darkening and Chekhovich could feel the walls closing in, the foundation had quietly begun accepting Bitcoin donations. It was a precaution, almost an afterthought at the time, but it became one of the key things keeping them alive.
