Each year, we publish an impact report to document what we built, what we learned, and who we built it with.

It’s part accountability, part memory-keeping. A way to mark the work that often happens behind the scenes—and the people who made it possible. 🫶🏽
This year’s report looks a little different.

It’s creative, yes. But more than that, it’s honest.
It reflects a year of experimentation, growth, uncertainty, and momentum.

It captures the moments that mattered: the programs that reached further than we expected, the community that showed up again and again, and the quiet wins that don’t always fit neatly into a spreadsheet.

This report is a love letter to our past selves.

A digital archive for our future selves.

Something we’ll look back on years from now to remember how this chapter felt—what we were trying to protect, what we were brave enough to build, and how much collective care it took to do it.

If you’ve ever wondered whether this work matters, or what digital safety can look like when it’s rooted in dignity and community, we hope you’ll take the time to read it.

Cyber Collective exists to build a culture where digital safety is an act of care—for ourselves and for each other. 💙

Every year adds a new chapter to that story, and this one belongs to all of you who showed up alongside us.

To our team, fellows, volunteers, collaborators, board members, partners, and funders: thank you. 🙏🏼

This work is only possible because of you.

Our PSA campaign made major moves across NYC. Here’s the impact at a glance ✨

Big thank you to .y.eye for helping us bring digital safety to the streets of NYC. 💜 Your platform turned our message into movement.

Last week we brought the internet outside for ISS in the Park—and y’all showed up with open hearts, sharp minds, and big community energy. ✨

We covered digital safety tips, shared stories, challenged surveillance culture, and reminded each other that privacy is a collective right—not a solo mission.

To everyone who laughed, learned, and held space with us: thank you.

We’ll be doing more of this, and we hope you’ll keep building with us.

We’re bringing digital literacy outside and into the heart of the community. 🌳

Join us for ISS in the Park, a public activation of our Internet Street Smarts program designed to meet people where they are: with real talk, real tools, and real support for navigating today’s digital world.

Whether you’re a parent, organizer, educator, or just privacy-curious, swing by to learn practical tips for protecting your data, spotting surveillance, and building safer online habits—together.

📍 Central Park | 📆 June 5th | ⏰ 6 PM - 8 PM
