For many of us, the internet was never a utopia, but a space of possibility.

Building upon decades of collaboration among dedicated and trustworthy individuals, digital spaces have extended new avenues for us to connect and organize beyond borders and oppression.

As states break the sanctity of their constitutions to harm their residents, and as invasive technologies get smarter and more prevalent, we must sharpen our long-term foresight to effectively confront these existing threats.

This is why we meet at Bread&Net—one of the region’s last truly open spaces for civil society. 

Join us in Beirut this October 29-31 to organize for a future where our online spaces are freer, safer, and more just. 

Stay tuned and follow us on our website and on Bread&Net’s social media (Instagram, X, and LinkedIn) for updates!
