The Elements Of A Digital Justice Ecosystem In Europe
Programme
This programme sets out a collective vision for digital justice activism in Europe.
Rooted in the necessity and desire for digital rights work to meet the needs of all in society, particularly those placed at the margins, we imagine a different ecosystem. We imagine a digital rights field that prioritises fighting against the harms experienced by marginalised communities, addresses internal power dynamics and organises in solidarity, an ecosystem that supports and sustains resistance, healing and community by and for those most harshly affected. We imagine a network of racial, social, queer, transfeminist, environmental, economic, and tech activists fully equipped to win the fight for digital justice. The ecosystem we imagine is one that will organise towards anti-colonial digital futures.
This programme proposes how we might create and sustain this ecosystem.
It is the product of the multi-year collaborative work described in the blueprint involving around 30 participants from the digital rights field, social, racial, environmental and economic justice organisations, researchers as well as funders. To see the participants to the process- please visit our meet us page.

Chapters towards a digital justice field in Europe
The programme is organised into sections.
Here you can download each section separately, or scroll down to view and download the full document.
"This digital justice ecosystem will have three pillars : imagining, organising and supporting. Imagining digital futures, Organising spaces for organisations to meet, coalitions to be built and movements to strengthen. Supporting to ensure that change is worthwhile first of all for the people making it happen"
Tending to the digital justice ecosystem
This chapter explains how the programme seeks to radically transform the digital justice ecosystem in Europe.
I) Imagining through collective, community-centred knowledge
Without imagination, there is no liberation, and without theory, there is no radical change. This chapter sets out a vision for how knowledge production will happen in the digital justice ecosystem.
II) Organising Solidarity
This chapter envisions new infrastructures for organising and solidarity to ensure that communities primarily affected by technological harm set the agenda of digital justice work and can build solidarity practices amongst those with a shared interest in collective liberation.
III) Supporting and Sustaining Movements
This chapter envisages the need for structural changes in the way resources are allocated in the ecosystem, new roles to better connect and support movements, and internal decolonising processes in organisations in the field.
