Support Resilience Against Censorship With Open Source Tools

Overview

Resilience Against Censorship With Open Source Tools is a community-driven effort to build practical, open tools that preserve access to information in environments where access is restricted. This initiative focuses on transparent development, cross‑platform distribution, and collaborative stewardship to ensure long‑term viability. The goal is to empower people who rely on open channels to communicate, learn, and advocate for free exchange of ideas.

Through open design and public collaboration, the project aims to deliver tools that are auditable, adaptable, and easy to deploy. By centering security, privacy, and accessibility, we create a foundation that can endure shifts in policy or infrastructure while remaining responsive to user needs. This page explains how contributions—financial and otherwise—help sustain that mission.

Why Your Support Matters
