OSIRIS

The beating heart of our resistance–an active network of investigators, researchers, experts, and organizers from targeted communities and their allies. OSIRIS leads high-impact research and investigative missions to expose extremist threats, disrupt state abuse, and defend democracy from the ground up.

PROJECTWATCHMEN

Open Shadows’ flagship initiative to expose extremism, misconduct, and authoritarian abuse in law enforcement through radical transparency and civilian investigation.

How We Fight

We fight with the facts, strategy, and precision. Open Shadows exposes extremist networks, tracks state power, and arms communities with the intelligence they need to resist. From OSINT investigations to real-time threat monitoring, we run operations that protect the people most under attack. We don't wait for justice. We build the tools to demand it, defend it, and make it undeniable.
