May First Movement Technology is a non-profit membership organization that engages in building movements by advancing the strategic use and collective control of technology for local struggles, global transformation, and emancipation without borders.

We are a democratically-run, not-for-profit cooperative of movement organizations and activists in the United States and Mexico. We’ve been around since 2005 and our 850 members (mostly organizations and mainly in the U.S. and Mexico) host over 10,000 email address and over 2,000 web sites on our collectively owned and secured hardware that run exclusively on encrypted disks.

Our members run our organization via a race and gender diverse elected body of movement activists, organizers and technologists

Besides hosting that data, our organization participates in networks, coalitions and campaigns organizing around many technology-related issues and has distinguished itself in confronting many legal threats and standing up to subpoenas.

That’s what we are. Here’s what we’re not : we are not a company or a service provider or a collective or a small non-profit. All those things are fine and many of those types of organizations do outstanding work. We just do something else.
