-We believe in the liberatory potential of technology - that everyone should have access to technology free from these capitalist power dynamics, and we see signalboost as an alternative to this existing paradigm when it comes to activism and social media. Social movements should be able to communicate broadly & virally without sacrificing their safety & security.
