While ecosystems are collapsing and human life on Earth is becoming increasingly precarious, CEOs of large tech companies are shooting themselves into space for fun and dreaming of colonising the universe as immortal machine humans. They portray themselves as saviours and have nothing but undisguised cynicism for the rest of humankind. We are witnessing a massive attack on trade unions and democratic institutions, which until now at least threatened to restrict their power. The extraction of the raw materials needed for their products devastates entire landscapes and deepens colonial extraction. With their ‘social’ media, they promote isolation and the collapse of democratic public spheres. They control comprehensive infrastructures and use them to strengthen the power of fascist forces and accelerate a technocratic-authoritarian restructuring of society.

We are movements and anti-capitalist activists who practise various forms of resistance. We have enough of Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Tesla, OpenAI, Nvidia and co.! That is why we want to bring together interested people, activists and movements, network and connect local struggles. We want to deepen our understanding of the problem, exchange ideas about necessary forms of action, develop strategies together and advance the resistance.

Whether you are politically active against Big Tech, conducting scientific research or involved in other ways, we look forward to your contribution to Cables of Resistance.
