Dismantling power is an urgent necessity, but creating replacement structures is far more urgent.

Why should every child have a right to education but not food? How is free health care effective if healthy food, air and water are unattainable?

Militaries torture children to ‘keep people safe’ and corporations destroy the environment to ‘give you jobs’.

Power is never benevolent and never inert. Where it exists in great excess, atrocities always exist in great excess as well.

Information freedom is the freedom to access, participate in, understand and benefit from knowledge creation. This includes access to raw data, transparent auditing processes which include both elite knowledge and complete and immediate feedback from user groups and anyone else impacted, and interpretation which flows directly from the audit without interference from coercive manipulation.

Knowledge needs to be recognized as a human right. Without knowledge, our actions are not our own; we are coerced to act in someone else’s interest.
