That’s a big question because individual action only goes so far before you hit a wall, for the heavy-duty legal and policy stuff, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is still the gold standard, and I really respect The Calyx Institute for actually providing hardware and internet access that doesn’t track you. Also look at Tactical Tech, they do amazing work on digital literacy for activists, and the Matrix.org Foundation is building the actual backbone for the communication side.

But honestly, I think the most important “organizations” are the ones we haven’t built yet, the local community networks where people help their neighbors get off the corporate grid. My time teaching at the library with a digital literacy program for seniors taught me that we need people who can translate this tech into something a regular person can actually use, so the movement needs to be as much about education as it is about code, we have to be the infrastructure we want to see, one node at a time.
