GG 5K

Global Gathering’s 1st Annual Digital Rights 5k

What if every step you took could protect someone's voice online?

In a time when internet shutdowns silence entire populations, surveillance threatens journalists and activists, and digital spaces are increasingly weaponized against the vulnerable, we’re launching an international race with one goal:

👉 To run and raise for internet freedom and digital human rights!

The Digital Rights 5k will showcase the resilience and determination of activists and

supporters. We want anyone who feels led to move their bodies and unite in this act of

solidarity. People will be able to share stories of how digital rights have personally impacted

their lives and expressed their commitment to continue fighting for these essential freedoms.

Come run, walk, skip, or hop–just move to prove the importance of the internet freedom

movement. This is an opportunity to move our bodies and show support. Let’s turn kilometers

into action and build a freer, safer internet for all #mymotivationmymovement.

This is an optional social event during the Global Gathering.

The picturesque city of Estoril is filled with energy and enthusiasm as digital rights activists

meet annually for the Global Gathering. This year we want to turn the streets into a unique

event, to raise awareness and support digital rights and human rights. The event will bring

together a diverse group of participants, from tech enthusiasts to human rights advocates, all

united by a common cause. The run itself is a 5K route along the boardwalk, passing by

remarkable views of the Atlantic Ocean and historic buildings perfectly preserved by the city

of Lisbon.
