riseUp

Riseup is a collective of activists, hackers, and technologists who provide free and secure communication tools for people and groups working in social justice. Founded in 1999, Riseup has been a pioneer in the use of technology to support social and political movements. The organization offers a range of services, including email, mailing lists, and web hosting, all of which are encrypted and designed to protect user privacy and security.

Riseup's mission is to empower marginalized communities by providing them with the tools they need to communicate, organize, and resist oppression. The organization believes that technology should be a tool for social change, not a barrier to it. To this end, Riseup provides its services to individuals and groups around the world, regardless of their political beliefs or affiliations.

Riseup is funded through a combination of donations, grants, and membership fees. The organization is governed by a collective of volunteers who work together to make decisions and manage the organization's operations. Riseup is committed to transparency and accountability, and it regularly publishes reports on its financials and activities.

Riseup has played a significant role in a number of high-profile campaigns and movements, including the Occupy Wall Street protests, the Arab Spring, and the fight against police brutality. The organization's work has been recognized by a number of awards and accolades, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer Award in 2010.
