"Face the #facts. We are tied to our devices in ways that are incredibly useful for organizing, but that also expose us to isolation should the state and companies take away these technologies. Cell #phones and the #internet rely on corporate infrastructure and is subject to both #government #surveillance and service denial. What do we do when social media bans #anticapitalists and #anticolonialists? What do we do when our cell phones fully become monitoring devices we willingly keep by our side, all to the benefit of state intelligence services? What happens when our cell phone numbers are blocked from service? How will the #revolutionaries continue to #communicate locally, regionally, and internationally?

These are the questions that have been left in the dust, forgotten or ignored in favor of more romantic visions of armed struggle. #People forget; no struggle has ever been successful without robust communication networks that are not subject to state control. From the French #resistance in WWII to the #Zapatistas in the Lacandon Jungle, communications matter!

Here, we will propose ways that you can start building this infrastructure, TODAY. As we slip further into the #fascist future, we must build, lest we be left defenseless and disconnected from each other."

This memorial site recounts –although incompletely- Josephine Butler's and her friends' struggle since 1875. a

@RhinosWorryMe unsure why that link specifically is down though, well can be a few reasons actually.
@RhinosWorryMe yes that specific link is down for me also. Might have to contact website admins in respect to matter.
@RhinosWorryMe thankyou, I forget to look at archive for things at times, I'll update the post.

"Without communication there can be no resistance. Communication is what allows isolated dissidents to join up, understand their situation, and plan for action. It is what allows a resistance group to break its isolation to become part of a movement, rooted in larger society.
Resisters need to communicate to strategize, analyze, mobilize, and act, especially under repressive surveillance states. Good communication is a prerequisite to successful recruiting, fundraising, and movement-building in general."
- Aric McBay, "Full Spectrum Resistance vol.2"

"A communications network must be built (or an existing one repurposed). Otherwise groups will remain fragmented and isolated.
And something must happen to trigger larger action. Freeman [Jo Freeman, 'The Women's Movement'] notes that 'a crisis will only catalyze a well-formed communications network.' If that communication network isn't there, then crises will pass and opportunities for real change will be missed. Freeman argues that 'people must be organized. Social movements do not simply occur.'"
