About us
The LibrePlanet Empowermentors is a skillshare network for people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ people, and female assigned, identified or perceived people. We want to empower each other with skills and knowledge of free software. We are a group of volunteers and activists with a strong commitment to creating a welcoming and non-oppressive community organized around furthering the ideals of free software, related issues, and radical politics. Software freedom is an issue of social justice, and necessity for a free society. We believe that information technology should empower its users, not subjugate them, so we are creating a safe space for marginalized voices to support each other in gaining control over the tools and devices that we use for experiencing and interacting with the world, communicating with one another, and even surviving.
We operate in accordance with the LibrePlanet Mission Statement and Code of Conduct.
