Even stronger together: the GFF's international network
By networking and cooperating with like-minded organisations, the GFF creates synergies and unites existing major civil societies initiatives across different countries.
In addition to its work as a national anti-discrimination association, the GFF cooperates with organisations internationally, for example the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), both of which have long used strategic litigation to protect fundamental and human rights in the US.
The GFF’s European partner organisations include:
- Amaro Foro e.V.
- Amnesty International (Berlin/London)
- Bewegungsstiftung / Stiftung Bridge
- Bits of Freedom (Amsterdam)
- Bundesverband Trans*
- Büro zur Umsetzung von Gleichbehandlung e.V. (BUG, Berlin)
- Chaos Computer Club
- Digitale Gesellschaft e.V. (Digiges, Berlin)
- Deutsche Gesellschaft für Transidentität und Intersexualität e.V. (dgti)
- European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR, Berlin)
- European Digital Rights – EDRi (Brussels)
- Humboldt Law Clinic Internetrecht (HLCI, Berlin)
- La Quadrature du Net (Paris)
- Lesben- und Schwulenverband (LSVD)
- Netzpolitik.org (Berlin)
- Privacy International (London)
- Pro Asyl

You all supported us in a variety of ways in setting up the GFF - thank you!
Starting in September 2021, the GFF has joined forces with AlgorithmWatch, the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany, Reporters Without Borders and Wikimedia Germany to form the F5 alliance. The cooperation’s aim is to promote a fresh start in digital politics (F5) in order to align digitalisation with the interests of the people in Germany and Europe. We believe that in the future, the emphasis should be on the common good, instead of the government’s interests and the revenue of tech companies being used as a yardstick.
