About us

Since 2018, illuminating the digital debate in Latin America

Linterna Verde is an independent non-profit organization working at the intersection of technology, democracy and civic space. We analyze how digital ecosystems shape democratic processes and put that knowledge to work to reduce the asymmetries that prevent civil society from participating effectively in the debates that affect it. Our work informs strategies, campaigns and advocacy decisions that would otherwise be made in the dark.
