→ It’s political because **preserving our freedoms is fundamental** to maintaining a not too shabby democracy. → It’s political because we want to **cooperate** with those who defend this vision of the world. We have expressed all this clearly and sincerely, in a manifesto:
### Popular education **Popular education is the freedom of everyone to share and access knowledge: the basis for a better world!** Sharing thoughts and initiatives, achievements on digital, commons and social justice.<br /> → [Read the Framablog](@:link.blog) Sharing knowledge on digital empowerment in conferences and workshops.<br /> → [See in videos](@:link.tube)
### What? - who [speaks](@:(link.tube)/c/framaconf/videos)<br /> - that publishes [emancipatory content](@:(link.blog))<br /> - that hosts [free services](@:(link.dio))<br /> - that develops [free software](@:(link.soft)/empowerment#software)<br /> - that cooperates [with others](@:(link.soft)/archipelago#partners)<br /> and - and which [federates Kittens](@:(link.kittens))
### Who? A non-profit association founded in 2004, financed by your donations, which is limited to a dozen employees and about thirty volunteers (a group of friends!)
### Why? To contribute to a society of social justice where digital technology empowers people, against the backdrop of the imaginations of surveillance capitalism.
