KDE For Activists

Free Software activists give you control over technology, and help defend your digital #rights. We create means that allow us to become organized and connected, bypassing utilities controlled by unethical corporations.

"KDE For Activists" helps you too leverage the tools to effectively organize rallies, privately communicate with fellow #community members, and safely manage your own grassroots #movement .

https://kde.org/for/activists/

For activists, by activists.

You can help: Adopt an App during our fundraiser and give our contributors the resources they need!
