Are there foundations similar to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, but with more international focus? (www.eff.org)

I'm a member of the EFF, and its activities are great, but understandably have slightly more focus on USA-related matters. I say "but" just because I don't live in the USA.

Are there similar foundations that operate and focus/prioritize more on an international level? I don't manage to find any, but probably I'm doing the wrong kind of search.

Yeah, I ran into this on /r/europe when there were some EU legislation issues. The EFF does have some activity in the EU, but it does have a mostly-US focus, and there isn't really a direct analog.

It depends on what your interest is.

EDRi (European Digital Rights) in Europe has come up on a couple of advocacy issues I've followed. If you're in Europe, they might be worth a look. They don't feel quite the same to me, but maybe that's what you're looking for.
