Many people feel isolated, overwhelmed, or terrorized by the current political and corporate climate in the US and around the world as we face fascism and wealth inequality as a constant and ever growing threat to our freedom.

I made a website to act as a directory to all of the services I host and have available for our local community. I believe we need to connect, get to know our neighbors and share our skills to improve our self-reliance and break away from dependency on fragile, corrupt or co opted systems.

MakeArmy is all about building and maintaining free, open and safe spaces where people can ask questions, share notes, publish guides, and coordinate projects. I’m genuinely hoping to connect with you all and start a conversation.

I’ve built this operating on the following principles:

• Local: Start where you live; and build something your community can use.
• Open: We exist to share our knowledge and skills with others to better all lives.
• Private: We ONLY employ tools and services that are open source and privacy respecting.
• Decentralized: We ONLY deploy on platforms that are decentralized to fight censorship.

You can read more on my website at https://makearmy.io/ and I invite you to join me on the Matrix server to discuss how we can best use these tools to better our community and improve outreach to connect with like-minded individuals as we head into the future together.
