With Donald Trump victor in the presidential election, the American people have spoken, and we must respect the outcome of the democratic process. This was a historic election in many ways, including Vice President Harris’ groundbreaking candidacy, which inspired millions.
While this outcome presents challenges, our mission remains vital. In times like these, our community’s strength and shared commitment to our mission become even more important. There will be opportunities to advance our work and create positive impact in the incoming administration, even as we navigate new complexities and potential headwinds. We believe we can come together on issues like digital technology to find common ground in the hopes that it will create pathways for shared power, prosperity, and possibility for everyone.
Omidyar Network will continue to advocate for a comprehensive governance framework of tech that includes policies, laws, regulations, institutions, and accountability structures with checks on power to responsibly steer digital technologies toward humanity’s shared interests and incredible potential.
We will continue to push back against policies and practices that threaten to concentrate power and deepen existing inequalities. And Omidyar Network remains committed to working with partners across sectors who share our vision for a digital future that serves humanity. The path forward will require resilience, strategic thinking, and an unwavering dedication to our core principles.
