The fight for digital sovereignty is at the heart of today’s political, economic, and ecological struggles. The new report from the Democratic and Ecological Digital Sovereignty Coalition, co-authored by Alameda research associates, Edemilson Paraná, Paolo Gerbaudo, and Paris Marx, plus Cecilia Rikap, Cédric Durand, outline a bold vision for reclaiming digital infrastructures from corporate monopolies and techno-nationalist rivalries.

“Reclaiming Digital Sovereignty: A Roadmap to Build a Digital Stack for People and the Planet” calls for public-led, ecologically responsible, and socially just digital systems that serve collective needs — not private profit or nationalist agendas.

By framing digital infrastructures as essential public goods, the authors highlight the urgent need to rethink how we design and govern the digital layer of our societies. How can movements, local governments, and alliances reclaim the power to shape digital futures for the common good? Explore the manifesto and join the debate.
