Public Knowledge operates in the public policy arena, advocating for freedom of expression, an open internet, and broad access to affordable communications tools and creative works. Its work spans copyright, telecommunications, and internet law, recognizing how these areas increasingly intersect. Across these domains, the organization seeks to shape policies that serve the public interest and support a digital marketplace that benefits all users. Based in Washington, DC, Public Knowledge has a small to mid-sized team. A recent development illustrating its ongoing policy work is the November 2025 hire of Mary Gay Scanlon.
