Led by the Mozilla Festival team, and building on the federated design of how the festival comes together, this is a participatory session that aims to explore with participants: what is needed to sustain the movement?

Internet health is becoming increasingly more difficult to diagnose, and therefore the movement has to continue to cross-pollinate – to pivot and adapt as quickly as the technology is evolving – because the internet is a reflection of our systems and our fights IRL.

The movement is carried out by people: activists, builders, journalists, designers, artists, practitioners, thinkers and disruptors from every field of work. And as we saw in the recent big tech layoffs, the people are also often the first ones to take the hit. In this session, we will explore what people need in order to carry out this work from the purview of their expertise, geographical locations, and level of involvement.

This is the first of a series of sessions that will travel across different regions, and we will release a report of the findings at the end of 2023.
