In a world that is shaped by technology, our societies are increasingly governed by a few mega-companies who determine everything, from the way we communicate, our transport, our politics, to our cultural expression. Building solidarity-based and just societies requires challenging the dominance of Big Tech.
We urgently need a radically different approach to technology, one where communities are empowered to use alternatives when they need them, and to reject new technologies if they don’t.
Our vision is to build an alternative economy through public-civic digital ecosystems, where citizen cooperatives collaborate closely with strong public institutions, and where communities become literate to technology and independent from it at the same time.
