MozFest is all about community.

We gather, online and in person (when we can) to connect, collaborate, and make positive change in our digital world. We are human rights and digital activists, artists, technologists, teachers, and students with a single mission: a better, healthier, internet.

After an incredible MozFest 2021 that was 100% online for the first-time ever, we didn’t want to stop the amazing conversations that were sparked from immersive sessions, creative zoom experiences, and digital “hallway” conversations. So we launched MozFest Community Fridays, a Twitter celebration of the people and projects that inspire and motivate us to keep building, creating, talking, and acting on the work that happened in March.

Throughout May, June, and into July, MozFest invited 14 people from around the world to host conversations from our Twitter account about the topics that matter most to them and their community. They raised awareness, asked thought-provoking questions, and provided ways for us to get involved. Here is a snapshot of the hosts and their topics, and links to the archived conversations.
