What We Do

We believe that technology should work for activists, and that we can actively limit governments from using technology to suppress activism. We focus on individuals who advocate for LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, immigrant and other marginalized communities.

We provide hands-on training, instructional guides, and direct consultations to help people in civil society organizations protect themselves and their connections. We center the members of the marginalized communities whom we serve while we adhere to our values of non-discrimination, anti-racism and anti-oppression, intersectionality, and privacy.
