Overview
Protect Open Access to Protect Community Knowledge is a mission wired into our shared digital future. This effort aims to keep essential information visible, affordable, and open to everyone—across languages, regions, and devices.

By supporting this work, you help sustain a transparent, community governed space where knowledge flows freely and equitably.
