Mozilla is eliminating its advocacy division, which fought for a free and open web
The Mozilla Foundation has laid off 30% of its staff, including its advocacy and global programs divisions, as part of restructuring to increase focus and agility. This marks Mozilla’s second round of layoffs in 2024.
Executive Director Nabiha Syed stated the changes aim to help Mozilla adapt to produce a “unified, powerful narrative from the Foundation.” However, despite eliminating these divisions, advocacy remains core part of Mozilla's mission.

The Mozilla Foundation is reorganizing teams to increase agility and impact as we accelerate our work to ensure a more open and equitable technical future for us all. That unfortunately means ending some of the work we have historically pursued and eliminating associated roles to bring more focus going forward.
