**\
Our Values**

-   We are an organization committed to the tenets of free information,
    free culture, and free society.

-   We hold that advances in information technology provide humanity
    with the ability to effectively face global challenges.

-   We contend that our very ability to mobilize, organize, and bring
    about change depends on our ability to communicate.

-   We see that our ability to communicate is purchased from a handful
    of powerful entities.

-   We know that we cannot depend on these entities to support movement
    away from a status quo from which they are the beneficiaries.

-   We believe that access to a free network is a human right, and a
    necessary tool for environmental and social justice.
