Hi Citizen!

We’re conducting a reader survey and would love to hear your thoughts.

With your support, we’re building a movement to challenge today’s techno-authoritarianism. By focusing our reporting on what matters most to you and fostering robust public debate through campaigns and events, we seek to reshape our collective political consciousness and explore viable alternatives to the current Tech, Money, and Power nexus. 

To do this well we need to know more about you, your concerns about Big Tech, and the issues you want us to cover, expose, or campaign for.

Your input will help us identify how we can unite around concrete actions and develop technological and political alternatives to Big Tech. The first step is completing the survey. It only takes 5 minutes, and we’ve chosen Cryptpad, a platform that fully respects your privacy.

Thank you for joining us in this effort!


💌 And a million thanks to the AMAZING COUPLE who are about to get married and are asking their guests for a DONATION to the Citizens as their wedding gift. How touching, cool, and iconic is that? We’re at a loss for words. With such a foundation, it can only be a long and happy marriage!

We hope to be there to celebrate their 20th anniversary. But...

We are on a knife-edge. 

Since Trump got re-elected, there has been a chilling effect. It is sweeping right across those of us who stand in opposition to Big Tech’s takeover of politics. Journalists, academics, and civil society are under attack, and philanthropy is in free fall or has retreated entirely.

Sadly, we now have an expiry date: without new funding, we won’t survive. We have exhausted every alternative and we can’t stand against the unholy alliance of "Big Tech and State" without you.

With enough of you becoming paid members, we will have a chance to keep the fight alive. Will you help us? ✊🏻
