On the 8th of March 2023, we called for a Counter Cloud Action Day.

On this day, together with many others, we tried to withhold from using, feeding, or caring for The Big Tech Cloud. The strike called for a hyperscaledown of extractive digital services, and for an abundance of collective organising. It joined the long historical tail of international feminist strikes, because we understand this fight to be about labour, care, anti-racism, queer life and transā˜…feminist techno-politics.

Convened by more than twenty organisations and collectives such as: NEoN Digital Arts, TITiPI, Varia, transmediale, In-grid and many others: https://titipi.org/8m/
