AIA-LAC
We are an open movement of organizations from Latin America and the Caribbean, representing diverse sectors, working to ensure that the Internet remains open, neutral, and resilient.
The Internet is a fundamental pillar for the social and economic development of our region. It serves as an innovation platform that facilitates access to fundamental rights and creates new opportunities for everyone on equal terms.
We want the Internet to remain free and without barriers, enabling all people in Latin America and the Caribbean to access, innovate, create, and share content, applications, and services on equal terms.
Ensuring plurality of voices and unrestricted access, without blocks or discrimination, is key to building a more just, free, and equitable society.
