AccessNow.org is offering $20,000 for the best actionable idea of how to use the Facebook platform to deliver a human rights, human development or social good outcome. We're looking for initiatives across the spectrum - from enhancing freedom of speech and expression to improving the economic well-being of a disadvantaged group.

We are looking for an idea that has real impact for people on the ground! That is, the winning project will be chosen because it has already generated tangible positive outcomes or evidence that it has the potential to do so.
