  1. CW: Mention of 22. July 2011

    **Wednesday**

    Together the committee of unionized young workers visited [Utøya](utoya.no/), an immensely important island for the workers' movement in Norway. The annual youth summer camp of the [Workers' Party Youth](auf.no/) has been held there since the 70's.

    In 2011, a right-wing terrorist attacked the government quarter in Oslo, killing 8 people, and soon after attacked the gathering of >500 politically active youth on the island, killing 69 youth and staff. [Wikipedia article](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Nor).

    The island has now been reclaimed by the workers' movement. In 2015 AUF held the first youth summer camp there since the terrorist attack, with 1500 participants (almost 3x the number of participants in 2011)

    In addition to the many summer camps of various leftist youth organizations held there since, the island has become a centre for furthering democracy and democratic participation; seeing 17 000 visitors in 2025. Most of them school kids on organized trips to the island.

    The folks of Utøya Centre and I discussed digital sovereignty for organizations and folks, at length. They're stoked about the concept of people forming "digital services hosting co-ops/collectives", like datakollektivet.no.

  2. **Digital Sovereignty Collective**

    A key part is that these efforts for digital autonomy shouldn't be undertaken by each organization in isolation. We use similar digital tools in similar ways, and face similar threats. That is the cause of our current vulnerability, but also a perfect starting point for collective action.

    If *one* or a handful of organizations manages to defend themselves and their organizing capacity against fascist attacks and sabotage by fascism-aligned tech providers, we will likely all lose, still. To defend our society against fascism, and win our separate-yet-connected struggles, we need **all** anti-fascist orgs and movements to maintain and build their organizing capacity.

    If you're part of an organization with values, goals and methods which oppose the values, methods and goals of fascism; read on. Digital Sovereignty Collective is an international network of a few dozen orgs like yours, digital hosting co-operatives/collectives, and tech workers' co-ops; collaborating, helping and sharing knowledge to liberate our own and eachothers' orgs from the clutches of fascism-vulnerable tech.
    We believe free/libre/open source software operated by co-operatives is the most reliable, maintainable and future-proof way forwards. Reach out to me if you want to participate.
