Free Geek (www.freegeek.org)
submitted 8 months ago by j_roby@slrpnk.net to c/inperson@slrpnk.net

...non-profit organization with a mission: to repurpose technology and discover sustainable solutions while providing educational resources. Our ultimate aim is to foster a vibrant community where individuals are empowered to unlock their full potential. Through our dedicated efforts, we strive to transform the world by leveraging technology, sustainability, and education to create a brighter, more inclusive future, where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and make a meaningful impact.

Free Geek’s goal is to divert technology that would otherwise be recycled or thrown away, refurbish it, and give it back to our community at no or low cost.

Free Geek has created a unique circular model which points two existing societal problems - excess electronic waste in need of sustainable reuse and recycling, and lack of access to basic technology among vulnerable populations - back at each other to reveal innovative solutions.

Lignite mining, express highways, gravel mining, parking decks, lime pits, and candy factories all have something in common that might not be obvious at first glance. Capitalists need to cut down forests to make way for them. But all around Germany, people are mobilizing to stop them. Over the past decade, forest occupations and forest defense actions have proliferated to such a point that we can now reflect on the movement as a whole.

Anti-fascist groups, often called “antifa,” are popping up all around the United States, and a number of people have asked us for advice on forming a group. Because antifa work is different from other forms of radical organizing, and because the antifa groups themselves are changing, we have written down some of our suggestions, based on years of experience. However, this article has been written in a very fluid political situation (February 2017), and some of these specifics may or may not be relevant in the coming months and years.

Food Not Bombs (foodnotbombs.net)

Even though we provide meals and groceries to thousands of people, we are not a charity. Food Not Bombs is trying to inspire the public to participate in changing society and focus our resources on solving problems like hunger, homelessness and poverty while seeking an end to war and the destruction of the environment. We are also showing by example that we can work cooperatively without leaders through volunteer effort to provide essential needs like food, housing, education and healthcare. When over a billion people go hungry each day, how can we spend another dollar on war?

I got mad at all the "don't vote" meme propaganda, and went to look for how to volunteer with the Biden campaign, and instead I found this.

  • IT Systems Engineer $90k-100k
  • Data Engineer $95k

And so on.

Not sure if this falls under in person activism, but thought it might be of interest. Short version, he uploaded to a website he controlled instead of using a USB stick or a commercial file sharing service

Hi all. I made this community because I want to get involved, and I honestly don't know where to start. It seems like activism in the real world is a better way than just typing on the internet. Where are the protests? How can I volunteer with a climate change organization? And so on. I figured if we had a little community then we could figure some things out.

Do you guys know? Do you want to find out? Let me know. Let's talk.
