Public Knowledge works at the intersection of copyright, telecommunications, and Internet
law, at a time when these fields are converging. PK's experience in all three areas puts it in
an ideal position to advocate for policies that serve the public interest.
What Public Knowledge does:

Ensure universal access to affordable and open networks
Promote creativity through balanced copyright
Advance government transparency and the public’s access to knowledge
Uphold and protect consumer rights
Oppose policies that would slow technology, impede innovation, shrink the public domain, or limit fair use
Educate the press, the public, and policymakers using plain-language analysis, white papers, blog posts, and videos
Produce events that provide a forum for policymakers, the public, industry, and the press to exchange ideas about our core issues
