There is an awful lot of work that needs to be done, and it is at the same time amazing that so much IS being done by so many people and communities around the globe, to increase our resilience, autonomy and sovereignty moving out of the tentacles of BigTech, and their authoritarian political partners.
With the #DemocraticTechFund we are setting in motion a collective process to bring together what is already there and to make the transition together. Making the transition, we are identifying use cases that need our collective support, to mobilise people and donations to bring them to fruition, to maturity.
We think this needs to be done together: by citizens and committed organisations, multiplied by public and private institutions.

We think there is much more chance for success if we initiate this bottom-up, democratically, through commoning, instead of leaving it to the market or the state alone. We are confident that together we can make this work, and overcome the doomsday scenarios as preached by Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos with their elitist space adventures.
