The Mission
Why community is essential to self-governance
Self-governance requires more than just transparency and sovereignty—it requires community. Real connections. Shared knowledge. Local networks that can organize, educate, and support one another.
Big Tech Broke Community
Social media promised connection but delivered isolation, manipulation, and surveillance. Algorithms optimize for engagement, not truth. Your data is sold to the highest bidder. We're building something different.
Digital Committees of Correspondence
The Founders built networks for sharing information and organizing action before the Revolution. We're building the modern version—without corporate intermediaries or government surveillance.
Local Action, National Impact
Real change starts locally. When communities organize, educate, and support one another, they become ungovernable by corrupt institutions. Strong local networks create a strong nation.

The foundation of self-governance
🏛️ Self-Governance Requires Connection
Democracy doesn't work without an informed, connected citizenry. The Founders understood this. That's why they built networks before they built a nation.
📖 Knowledge is Power
Education shouldn't be controlled by government or corporations. When communities can teach and learn from one another, they become self-reliant and free.
🤝 Real Relationships
Likes and followers aren't relationships. Real community means knowing your neighbors, supporting each other, and building something together.
🔒 Privacy by Default
Your connections and conversations are yours. No surveillance, no data mining, no algorithms deciding what you see or who you can reach.
