Desc	OUTREACH AND EDUCATION:WITNESS RECOGNIZES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACT AS A RESULT OF THE VAST NUMBER OF NEW WITNESSES EMPOWERED BY VIDEO-ENABLED CELL PHONES AND INTERNET ACCESS. AT THE SAME TIME, WE UNDERSTAND THE RISKS THESE WITNESSES FACE AND THE NEED FOR ON-THE-GROUND INTENSIVE TRAININGS ON HOW TO USE VIDEO EFFECTIVELY AND SAFELY AS DESCRIBED IN PROGRAM 1- TRAINING.HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE OVERWHELMING NEED FOR VIDEO-ACTIVISM TRAINING, IN ORDER TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR OUR SUPPORT, WITNESS DEVELOPS EASY-TO-USE RESOURCES (TIP SHEETS, VIDEOS, GUIDES, ETC.), TRANSLATES AND ADAPTS THEM FOR USE WHERE THEY ARE MOST NEEDED, AND DISTRIBUTES THEM AS BROADLY AS POSSIBLE. THROUGH OUR RESOURCE LIBRARY CONTAINING OUR FULL SUITE OF TRAINING MATERIALS AND THE CREATION OF LANGUAGE-SPECIFIC WEBSITES IN ARABIC, FRENCH, PORTUGUESE, AND SPANISH, WE HAVE GREATLY INCREASED THE EASE AND ACCESSIBILITY OF OUR RESOURCES FOR BROAD AUDIENCES. IN THE REPORTING PERIOD, OUR RESOURCES WERE ACCESSED OR VIEWED 750,000 TIMES ONLINE. ALL MATERIALS ARE OPEN-SOURCE AND AVAILABLE TO BE VIEWED, DOWNLOADED AND RE-MIXED THROUGH OUR LANGUAGE PAGES AND LIBRARY.DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR, WITNESS LAUNCHED NEW INITIATIVES IN THE U.S. FOCUSING ON THE NATIONWIDE ISSUES OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY, INDIGENOUS RIGHTS, AND LGBTQ RIGHTS. WE ALSO LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR A NEW PROJECT CALLED "EYES ON ICE" WHICH WILL REACH A WIDE RANGE OF AUDIENCES WORKING ON IMMIGRANT RIGHTS FROM THE UNITED STATES AND LATIN AMERICA WITH RESOURCES RANGING FROM TIP SHEETS TO ONLINE WEBINARS IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH.WE WORKED WITH GROUPS DEFENDING SIOUX LANDS FROM THE DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION, TAILORING OUR VIDEO AS EVIDENCE FIELD GUIDE TO SUPPORT THE DOCUMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION AND OF POLICE ABUSE AT STANDING ROCK.

Desc	ADVOCACY TO TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES AND THOUGHT LEADERSHIP:WITNESS WORKS WITH A RANGE OF ACTIVISTS AND VULNERABLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, LEARNING ABOUT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE TECHNOLOGY LANDSCAPE FROM ORDINARY USERS, OFTEN USERS AT RISK, ON THE GROUND. WE NOT ONLY BRING THESE SPECIFIC, REAL-LIFE USER EXPERIENCES TO COMPANIES, BUT ALSO SYNTHESIZE AND ADVOCATE AROUND BROAD ISSUES THAT AFFECT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. WE ADVOCATE FOR THE NEEDS OF INDIVIDUAL HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS AND THE SECTOR AT LARGE VOICES THAT ARE COMMONLY LOST AND UNABLE TO GET ANY RESPONSE FROM THE PLATFORMS.WE HAVE DEVELOPED SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMPANIES SUCH AS GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE, ENGAGING IN REGULAR CLOSED-DOOR MEETINGS WITH THE POLICY, PRIVACY, NEWS, AS WELL AS OTHER TEAMS AT THE COMPANIES. WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH YOUTUBE AND HUMAN RIGHTS PARTNERS TO ENSURE THAT COMPANY CONTENT MODERATION RESPONSES PROTECT NOT ONLY CRITICAL PUBLIC INTEREST CONTENT, BUT ALSO CURTAIL ON- AND OFF-LINE VIOLENCE FOR MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS. THIS YEAR, WHEN GOOGLE ANNOUNCED A NEW INITIATIVE TO USE MACHINE LEARNING TO DETECT SO-CALLED "EXTREMIST" CONTENT, OUR PARTNERS THE SYRIAN ARCHIVE CONTACTED US WHEN THEY NOTICED THE MASSIVE TAKEDOWNS OF VIDEOS DEPICTING HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN SYRIA A RESULT OF THE FLAWED IMPLEMENTATION OF GOOGLE'S MACHINE LEARNING STRATEGY. IN THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF THE TAKEDOWNS, WE WORKED DIRECTLY WITH GOOGLE TO RESTORE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VIDEOS.WITNESS IS ENSURING THAT VIDEO AND TECHNOLOGY CAN PROMOTE VERIFIABLE CIVIC MEDIA AND SUPPORT HUMAN RIGHTS. AMID THE WIDESPREAD DISTRUST OF CITIZEN IMAGES, FRONTLINE ACTIVISTS NEED THEIR FOOTAGE AND ACCOUNTS TO BE FOUND AND TRUSTED. IN RESPONSE, TOGETHER WITH THE GUARDIAN PROJECT, WITNESS CREATED THE PROOFMODE APP, WHICH COMPILES AND CREATES VALUABLE METADATA ABOUT A PIECE OF MEDIA - AND CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY SIGNS IT - MAKING IT EASIER TO VERIFY CRUCIAL DETAILS ABOUT WHEN, WHERE, AND BY WHOM IT WAS CAPTURED. WE HAVE ALSO ADVOCATED FOR MORE ADVANCED SECURITY TACTICS, SUCH AS FACE BLURRING FUNCTIONALITIES, THAT ADDRESS PRIVACY AND SECURITY CONCERNS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS USERS, AND THAT OFFER BETTER GUIDANCE FOR VULNERABLE USERS. THIS YEAR, YOUTUBE RELEASED ANOTHER UPDATE TO THEIR CUSTOM BLURRING TOOL. A PRODUCT OF OUR ONGOING ADVOCACY AND COLLABORATION WITH THE COMPANY, THE UPDATED TOOL ENABLES USERS TO SELECT SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL FACES TO BLUR, AND TRACKS THE BLURRING OF THESE FACES ACROSS A VIDEO--A GREAT IMPROVEMENT THAT ALLOWS USERS TO BLUR FACES AND ALSO ENSURES THE CONSISTENCY OF THE BLUR ACROSS A SCENE. THE WITNESS MEDIA LAB SERVES AS AN INCUBATOR DEDICATED TO UNLEASHING THE BOUNDLESS POTENTIAL OF CIVIC MEDIA AS A POWERFUL TOOL TO REPORT, MONITOR, AND ADVOCATE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS. THIS FISCAL YEAR, WE LAUNCHED A GROUNDBREAKING PROJECT CALLED "PROFILING THE POLICE," WHICH EXPLORES METHODS OF ORGANIZING, ANALYZING, AND PRESERVING COLLECTIONS OF POLICE MISCONDUCT FOOTAGE AS A WAY TO MOVE BEYOND THE NARRATIVE OF SINGLE VIDEO AND EXPOSE BROADER PATTERNS OF ABUSE. IT SERVES AS A USE CASE STUDY FOR ADVOCATES, JOURNALISTS, LEGAL EXPERTS AND ARCHIVISTS INTERESTED IN NEW FORMS OF STORYTELLING THROUGH ANALYSIS AND CURATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIDEOS.	Desc

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1	WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO DIGITAL TOOLS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE. UNFORTUNATELY, BAD ACTORS ARE UTILIZING THE SAME TOOLS TO WEAPONIZE AND MANIPULATE MEDIA, SPREAD MAL-INFORMATION, SILENCE DISSENTING VOICES, PERPETUATE HATE SPEECH, AND PUT ACTIVISTS AT RISK. THE RISE OF POPULISM AND AUTHORITARIANISM AND GENERAL CRACKDOWN ON CIVIL SOCIETY RAISES NEW AND PRONOUNCED CHALLENGES FOR HUMAN RIGHTS. MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ARE MOST AT RISK, AS DISINFORMATION IS ALREADY RIFE, A CRISIS OF TRUST PREVAILS, AND PRIVATE INTERESTS WIELD DANGEROUS POWER OVER REGULATION OF THE PLATFORMS THEY USE FOR TO COMMUNICATE AND ADVOCATE. WITNESS' STRATEGY IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS TODAY'S CHALLENGES HEAD-ON. WE MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE, ANYWHERE TO USE VIDEO AND TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECT AND DEFEND HUMAN RIGHTS. OUR GLOBAL TEAM DESIGNS SOLUTIONS, PROVIDES GUIDANCE, AND DEVELOPS STRATEGIES THAT ENABLE HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS AND ORDINARY PEOPLE TO HOLD THE POWERFUL TO ACCOUNT AND STAND UP FOR JUSTICE. WITNESS AIMS TO ENSURE THAT VIDEOS CAN BE TRUSTED AND IMPACTFUL, THAT HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS CAN BE SAFER, AND THAT MANY MORE PEOPLE CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE FIGHT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS. CO-FOUNDED IN 1992 BY ADVOCATE AND MUSICIAN PETER GABRIEL, TO DATE, WITNESS HAS PARTNERED WITH MORE THAN 600 HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS REPRESENTING 130+ COUNTRIES, TRAINED 11,000+ HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS AND CIVIC ACTIVISTS, AND REACHED OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE WITH WITNESS RESOURCES IN THE LAST YEAR ALONE. AS A RESULT OF WITNESS' GUIDANCE, ACTIVISTS AROUND THE WORLD ARE BETTER EQUIPPED TO USE VIDEO AND TECHNOLOGY MORE SAFELY, ETHICALLY, AND EFFECTIVELY TO DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS AND REALIZE OPPORTUNITIES, PROTECT RULE OF LAW, FIGHT OPPRESSION AND INEQUALITY, HOLD GOVERNMENTS ACCOUNTABLE, AND FULLY PARTICIPATE IN SOCIETY. HIGHLIGHT ACTIVITIES FROM THE LAST YEAR INCLUDE: 1) IN RESPONSE TO THE PROLIFERATION OF HATEFUL NARRATIVES AND THE WEAPONIZATION OF MEDIA AGAINST IMMIGRANTS, WE PROVIDE TAILORED GUIDANCE (AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH, SPANISH, ARABIC, HAITIAN CREOLE, AND FRENCH) ON TIMELY SUBJECTS SUCH AS FILMING AND SHARING VIDEOS OF ENCOUNTERS WITH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT, USING FACEBOOK IN AN ERA OF MASS DEPORTATION, AND THE RIGHT TO RECORD ICE OFFICIALS AT OR NEAR COURTHOUSES IN NY. TOGETHER WITH THE EQUAL VOICE NETWORK, WE TRAINED 150+ ACTIVISTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY TO USE VIDEO TO EXPOSE ABUSES BY BORDER PATROL AND ADVOCATE FOR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS. 2) ACTIVISTS IN RIO'S FAVELAS ARE DEPLOYING WITNESS' LOCALIZED VIDEO AS EVIDENCE RESOURCES, ACCESSING OUR TIP SHEETS ON HOW TO FILM POLICE WITH A CELL PHONE, HOW TO USE VIDEO AS LEGAL PROOF, AND THE RIGHT TO FILM. WE ARE ALSO SUPPORTING MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES TO USE VIDEO TO COUNTER HARMFUL NARRATIVES AMID RISING POPULISM, AND TO MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD AS POWERFUL ACTORS ARE COMMITTED TO SILENCING THEM. IN RESPONSE TO JAIR BOLSONARO'S ELECTION, AND AS THREATS AGAINST MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES INCREASE, OUR GUIDANCE IS MORE CRITICAL THAN EVER. AS PART OF THIS WORK, WITNESS COLLABORATES CLOSELY WITH COLETIVO PAPO RETO, A FAVELA-BASED MEDIA COLLECTIVE IN RIO, TO IMPROVE THEIR FILMING TECHNIQUES AND STRATEGIES TO HOLD OFFICERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR CRIMES. MEDIA GATHERED BY CPR WERE USED BY THE PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE TO CHARGE TWO HIGH-RANKING MILITARY POLICE COMMANDERS FOR THEIR CRIMES - AN UNPRECEDENTED VICTORY IN BRAZIL WHERE IMPUNITY IS THE NORM. 3) WE HELPED PRESERVE HUMAN RIGHTS CONTENT COMING OUT OF SYRIA BEING REMOVED DUE TO MACHINE LEARNING, AND ARE INFLUENCING GLOBAL NORM-SETTING AROUND HOW TO HANDLE THE INADEQUACY OF CONTENT MODERATION RESPONSES. IN JUNE 2017, GOOGLE ANNOUNCED AN INITIATIVE TO USE MACHINE LEARNING TO DETECT SO-CALLED "EXTREMIST" CONTENT. OUR PARTNERS AT SYRIAN ARCHIVE CONTACTED US WHEN THEY NOTICED MASSIVE TAKEDOWNS OF VIDEOS DEPICTING RIGHTS ABUSES - DUE TO THE FLAWED IMPLEMENTATION OF GOOGLE'S MACHINE LEARNING STRATEGY. WE HELPED RESTORE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VIDEOS, AND YOUTUBE PUBLISHED A NEW RESOURCE ON THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTEXT, INFORMED BY OUR FEEDBACK. IN JUNE 2018, WE SUBMITTED A REPORT TO THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL THAT FED INTO A NEW REPORT PUBLISHED BY DAVID KAYE. WE ARE ALSO A MEMBER OF THE PARTNERSHIP ON AI (PAI) WORKING GROUP FOCUSED ON CONTENT MODERATION, WHICH WILL BRING A HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE INTO PAI'S LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS.
