Open Shadows

Open Shadows is a U.S.-based nonprofit that uses open-source research, grassroots organizing, and community-led intelligence to combat extremism, hate, and authoritarianism.

Their key initiatives include the WATCHMEN Index, which brings transparency to U.S. law enforcement in public spaces.
