What do we propose?

• shared learning and mutual aid: a community where people share their transition towards collective digital autonomy
• tech: Cooperative tools and infrastructure communities actually own and govern.
• fund: A methodology to pool money and fund communities' projects, without holding the funds.
• federation: Solidarity and shared infrastructure across borders, as a collaborative community network.

Why the moment is now? The tools for federated, community-owned alternatives already exist and are production-ready. What's missing is patient, pooled investment to put them in the hands of the communities that need them. The window is open now.

Why are we here? A handful of corporations now own the infrastructure that public life runs on. That's a political fact, not a technical one, and it can be different.
