EFF Awards Spotlight ✨ Erie Meyer
In 1992 EFF presented our very first awards recognizing key leaders and organizations advancing innovation and championing civil liberties and human rights online. Now in 2025 we’re continuing to celebrate the accomplishments of people working toward a better future for everyone with the EFF Awards!
All are invited to attend the EFF Awards on Wednesday, September 10 at the San Francisco Design Center. Whether you’re an activist, an EFF supporter, a student interested in cyberlaw, or someone who wants to munch on a strolling dinner with other likeminded individuals, anyone can enjoy the ceremony!
GENERAL ADMISSION: $55 | CURRENT EFF MEMBERS: $45 | STUDENTS: $35
If you’re not able to make it, we’ll also be hosting a livestream of the event on Friday, September 12 at 12:00 PM PT. The event will also be recorded, and posted to YouTube and the Internet Archive after the livestream.
We are honored to present the three winners of this year’s EFF Awards: Just Futures Law, Erie Meyer, and Software Freedom Law Center, India. But, before we kick off the ceremony next week, let’s take a closer look at each of the honorees. This time—Erie Meyer, winner of the EFF Award for Protecting Americans’ Data:
Erie Meyer is a Senior Fellow at the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator where she focuses on the intersection of technology, artificial intelligence, and regulation, and a Senior Fellow at the Georgetown Law Institute for Technology Law & Policy. Since January 20, Meyer has helped organize former government technologists to stand up for the privacy and integrity of governmental systems that hold Americans’ data. In addition to organizing others, she filed a declaration in federal court in February warning that 12 years of critical records could be irretrievably lost in the CFPB’s purge by the Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency. In April, she filed a declaration in another case warning about using private-sector AI on government information. That same month, she testified to the House Oversight Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation that DOGE is centralizing access to some of the most sensitive data the government holds—Social Security records, disability claims, even data tied to national security—without a clear plan or proper oversight, warning that “DOGE is burning the house down and calling it a renovation.”
We’re excited to celebrate Erie Meyer and the other EFF Award winners in person in San Francisco on September 10! We hope that you’ll join us there.
