Lara Mieg is the Project Manager for the F5 Alliance in Wikimedia Germany’s Public Policy & Public Sector Team. In this role, she coordinates the alliance's work, ranging from its organizational development to the co-conception of political strategies and formats to promote shared objectives. She holds a Master’s degree in Political Science and Sociology from Freie Universität Berlin and is passionate about fostering a democratic digitization and equal (digital) rights for everyone.

Sessions
Three years ago, Wikimedia Germany joined forces with four other German digital rights NGOs - the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany, AlgorithmWatch, Reporters without Borders Germany, and the Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte (“Society for Civil Rights”). Our shared goal is to collectively advocate for a digital policy that centers the common good and civil rights. In this session, we want to share practical insights from the work of the Bündnis F5, learn about experiences of participants in other countries that are engaged in similar efforts, and empower others to explore collective approaches to their advocacy work.
