Weaving Liberation

We are looking forward to being part of the #EUTechSociety Summit on 1 October. More info below! Amidst skyrocketing industry lobbying and the far-right surge in Europe, civil society's agenda is key.🚨   On 1 October in Brussels, 30+ digital, social and climate justice organisations will open a dialogue with recently elected EU decision-makers at the #EUTechSociety Summit. Together, we will discuss tech's impact on democracy✊🏾, society 🌎 and the environment.🌱   ➡️ Check out the draft programme to learn what will drive the conversation: https://lnkd.in/g7eauDbc    SOMO, EAPN - European Anti Poverty Network, European Environmental Bureau, Friends of the Earth Europe, Oxfam Intermón, Equinox: Racial Justice Initiative, ILGA-Europe, Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM), Front Line Defenders, Civil Liberties Union for Europe, Amnesty International, Access Now, European Center for Not-for-Profit Law Stichting, Privacy International, Bits of Freedom, Centre for Democracy & Technology Europe, Corporate Europe Observatory Wikimedia Europe BEUC - The European Consumer Organisation Danes je nov dan Corporate Europe Observatory, ARTICLE 19, Homo Digitalis, Open Future Foundation, Open Markets Institute, Right to Repair Europe, SHARE Fondacija, Communia, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), AI Now Institute, LobbyControl Aspiration

In May, we joined forces with European Network Against Racism Aisbl (ENAR) to organise a strategic workshop on digital policing. More than 20 organisers, lawyers, racial justice and digital rights organisations gathered to share knowledge and organise collectively. You can read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/eyvEs2kd Many thanks to Liberty, Kids of Colour, Equinox: Racial Justice Initiative, GHETT'UP, Iridia, Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte e.V., Kifkif, La Quadrature du Net, FEMYSO, Romani Godi, European Digital Rights, BLAM UK, Justice Equity and Technology Table, Center for Danish Muslim Relations and others for sharing their knowledge and practice and co-creating this strategising space!

Ahead of our launch *tomorrow* we want to introduce our programme - 'A vision for digital justice organising in Europe' - which is the product of a multi-year collective effort involving 30+ people. The first pillar of our programme sets out a vision for how collective, community-centred knowledge production will happen in the digital justice ecosystem. We see imagination as an integral part of liberation. 💡 ✊🏾 Organising solidarity is the focus of our second pillar. How do we ensure that communities primarily affected by technological harm set the agenda of digital justice work? How can we build solidarity practices amongst those with a shared interest in collective liberation? 🤜🏾 🤛🏾 The third pillar is centred on supporting and sustaining movements. We want to change the way resources are allocated in the ecosystem, create new roles and infrastructures to better support movements, and initiate internal decolonising processes in organisations in the field. ☘ 💗 Explore the full programme here: https://lnkd.in/e2r-WkSs

As we near our official launch on June 4th, we want to share our look back on the celebration / soft-launch we threw at the end of last year. We wanted to mark a milestone in our decolonising work - after two years of calls, strategising, consultations, post-it notes, love notes, poetry and play on video calls and in-person retreats in Italy and Morocco… we had a programme! 'A vision for digital justice organising in Europe' was finally ready to share with the world! Alongside that Weaving Liberation (yes, us!) the entity responsibility for coordinating its implementation, was beginning to really take shape. Have a read of the blog - 🎊 How to throw a wedding for digital justice 🎊 - here: https://lnkd.in/ddyPjZiA to get a taste of how we like to celebrate, and if you like the sound of it, register for our official online launch on June 4th, 17:00 CET here: https://lnkd.in/dibQk2Rh 📸: Lyse Ishimwe

Are you interested in a digital justice ecosystem that advances the visions and priorities of marginalised communities? An ecosystem that deepens infrastructures of organising, solidarity and care? One that supports and sustains the many movements working towards digital liberation? Weaving Liberation sure is! Born out of a collective effort that gathered the imaginations, wisdom and love of racial, social, queer, transfeminist, environmental, economic, and tech activists and funders from all over Europe, Weaving Liberation supports and resources organising towards liberatory digital futures. We partner with others to build spaces, capacity and power for digital justice. We believe that resourcing the imaginations and strategies of movements is what brings about radical change.
