What this is about

🔒

Privacy & Digital Rights

We believe everyone deserves control over their digital life. We advocate for strong encryption, data minimization, and resistance to surveillance.

🌐

Open Source & Open Tech

We support and build free and open source software. Knowledge should be shared, not locked behind paywalls.

Houston needs its own voice in the fight for digital freedom. We meet regularly to learn, build, and organize.
