EFF Awards Spotlight ✨ Just Futures Law

1 month 1 week ago

In 1992 EFF presented our very first awards recognizing key leaders and organizations advancing innovation and championing civil liberties and human rights online. Now in 2025 we're continuing to celebrate the accomplishments of people working toward a better future for everyone with the EFF Awards!

All are invited to attend the EFF Awards on Wednesday, September 10 at the San Francisco Design Center. Whether you're an activist, an EFF supporter, a student interested in cyberlaw, or someone who wants to munch on a strolling dinner with other likeminded individuals, anyone can enjoy the ceremony!

REGISTER TODAY!

GENERAL ADMISSION: $55 | CURRENT EFF MEMBERS: $45 | STUDENTS: $35

If you're not able to make it, we'll also be hosting a livestream of the event on Friday, September 12 at 12:00 PM PT. The event will also be recorded, and posted to YouTube and the Internet Archive after the livestream.

We are honored to present the three winners of this year's EFF Awards: Just Futures Law, Erie Meyer, and Software Freedom Law Center, India. But, before we kick off the ceremony next week, let's take a closer look at each of the honorees. First up—Just Futures Law, winner of the EFF Award for Leading Immigration and Surveillance Litigation:

Just Futures Law is a women-of-color-led law project that recognizes how surveillance disproportionately impacts immigrants and people of color in the United States. In the past year, Just Futures sued the Department of Homeland Security and its subagencies seeking a court order to compel the agencies to release records on their use of AI and other algorithms, and sued the Trump Administration for prematurely halting Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status, a humanitarian program that allows hundreds of thousands of Haitians to temporarily remain and work in the United States due to Haiti’s current conditions of extraordinary crises. It has represented activists in their fight against tech giants like Clearview AI, it has worked with Mijente to launch the TakeBackTech fellowship to train new advocates on grassroots-directed research, and it has worked with Grassroots Leadership to fight for the release of detained individuals under Operation Lone Star.

We're excited to celebrate Just Futures Law and the other EFF Award winners in person in San Francisco on September 10! We hope that you'll join us there.

Thank you to Fastly, DuckDuckGo, Corellium, and No Starch Press for their year-round support of EFF's mission.

[B] 発達障害の最大の原因はお産の現場にある  完全母乳哺育とカンガルーケアの問題点をベテラン医師が告発

1 month 1 week ago
発達障害児が増え続けている。文部科学省の2012年の全国調査で発達障害とみられる小学生の割合は7・7%、中学生は4・0%だったが、22年の調査では小学生が10・4%、中学生は5・6%と増加傾向が続いている。 発達障害も「個性の一つ」ではある。発達障害児の中には特定の分野で稀有な才能を示したり、成人後はうまく社会に適応していく者も少なくない。ただ、発達障害児は生涯にわたって「生きづらさ」を抱えるケースが多いことも事実だ。また、発達障害児増加の影響は発達障碍児を持つ親、保育士、学校教師らにも及んでいる。 これまで、発達障害の原因としては遺伝説、食物など環境要因説などさまざまな仮説が唱えられてきたが、「最大の原因はお産の現場にある」と断言し、産婦人科医や精神科医の間で波紋を広げている医師がいる。佐賀県で長年にわたり、久保田産科麻酔科医院を運営してきた久保田史郎医師(80)だ。(石山永一郎)
