A nonprofit organization (also known as a non-business entity) is an organization whose purpose is something other than making a profit.

A nonprofit organization is often dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a particular point of view.

In economic terms, a nonprofit organization uses its surplus revenues to further achieve its purpose or mission, rather than distributing its surplus income to the organization's shareholders (or equivalents) as profit or dividends.

This is known as the non-distribution constraint.

The decision to adopt a nonprofit legal structure is one that will often have taxation implications, particularly where the nonprofit seeks income tax exemption, charitable status and so on.

Labor rights or workers' rights are a group of legal rights and claimed human rights having to do with labor relations between workers and their employers, usually obtained under labor and employment law.

In general, these rights' debates have to do with negotiating workers' pay, benefits, and safe working conditions.

One of the most central of these rights is the right to unionize.

Unions take advantage of collective bargaining and industrial action to increase their members' wages and otherwise change their working situation.

Labor rights can also take in the form of worker's control and worker's self management in which workers have a democratic voice in decision and policy making.

The labor movement initially focused on this "right to unionize", but attention has shifted elsewhere.

A person is a being, such as a human, that has certain capacities or attributes constituting personhood, which in turn is defined differently by different authors in different disciplines, and by different cultures in different times and places.

Freedom of information is an extension of freedom of speech, a fundamental human right recognized in international law, which is today understood more generally as freedom of expression in any medium, be it orally, in writing, print, through the Internet or through art forms.

This means that the protection of freedom of speech as a right includes not only the content, but also the means of expression.

Freedom of information also refers to the right to privacy in the content of the Internet and information technology.

As with the right to freedom of expression, the right to privacy is a recognised human right and freedom of information acts as an extension to this right.

Lastly, freedom of information can include opposition to patents, opposition to copyrights or opposition to intellectual property in general.

The international and United States Pirate Party have established political platforms based largely on freedom of information issues.
