Jenny Brunner is a political campaigner at the digital rights organisation HateAid and an elected member of Dortmund’s city council. She brings together activism and institutional politics to push for social and digital justice, always with a strong sense of powerful communication and clear messages that move people.
Jenny focuses on tackling online abuse and holding tech platforms accountable, especially when it comes to image-based sexual violence and algorithm-driven hate. At HateAid, she led a popular petition against face swap apps used for sexualised abuse and helped push user rights into the spotlight of EU policymaking through the Digital Services Act.
Her work emphasizes strategic messaging and alliance-building, mobilizing public pressure while countering tech-driven disinformation and hate. She is active in civil society networks such as the People vs. Big Tech alliance.
Locally, Jenny translates digital justice into local policies, advocating for better access to digital tools and protection for marginalized communities. Her dual perspective allows her to bridge movement-driven communication with concrete policymaking, aiming to reframe debates from fear to democratic resilience.
