    Corporations are getting WAY too much fucking power over our personal lives, it’s at critical mass where their power is superseding that of our basic democratic rights.

    We all knew it would happen, and here we are. We need to fight the fuck back with everything we’ve got, and coordination and planning is the first step.

    There has to be something already happening, where do we sign up, who do we get in contact with? Where’s the team?

    Does anyone know or have any leads on that? I have the possibility to devote my life full time to it and I’m feeling like me and many others are not being utilized the way we could and are capable of.

      The fight was always going against these monopolies.

      In the UK with have OpenRightGroup to some extent the Greens. In the US EFF, FSF, SFC. In the EU ESFe, Pirate Party, Greens.

      There are many groups fighting the political cause. They have had victories over the years, but winning the odd battle doesn’t win a war. They all need support.

      Until now, a lot of open source has tried to be nonpolitical, but that may be changing:
