What We Do
We help people overcome censorship, stay safe online, and raise their voices on the global stage. Our work is organized into three core programs:
We expand access to uncensored internet through satellite connectivity, community networks, and secure circumvention tools.
We defend activists, journalists, and communities from surveillance and digital threats, providing the tools and support they need to stay resilient.
We expose repression, publish research on censorship and surveillance, and work with global partners to advance digital rights and freedom.
Our Mission

“Authoritarian firewalls are the new Iron Curtain. Every line of code we write and every connection we restore is a crack in that wall.”
— Founder and President, Holistic Resilience
