We increase access to enterprise-grade IT support for social movements building a more just world.
We ensure grassroots organizations — particularly BIPOC-led, queer, trans, and working-class-led groups — can access secure, values-aligned IT infrastructure without being priced out of safety.
Secure systems are as essential to a movement's power as its people and its message.
Protecting an organization's data and communications is an act of care for everyone it serves.
Strong security shouldn't be a privilege reserved for organizations that can afford it.
We support grassroots 501(c)(3)s and fiscally-sponsored projects — the organizations doing the most urgent work with the fewest resources.
