Here you will learn about Acter. The app will soon be a very effective and secure tool for organizers around the globe.

There are many ways you can help make Activist Handbook better:

Acter

Acter is designed for activists and changemakers who are driving change but lack the right tools.

The app is built to protect the civil society.

Acter is changing the way we build, own, and govern critical infrastructure.

Built to protect civil society

How? Acter has:

🔒 Multilayered safeguarding

🔒Decentralized structure, public source & non-profit

🔒Built on the Matrix protocol, like Signal

The Matrix protocol delivers Acter a technology that is:

• End-to-End Encrypted

• Interoperable with all Matrix clients

• Bridging to existing platforms (e.g. Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram)

• Decentralized

Built for collective action

By using Acter, organizers and activists are enabled to

💡Coordinate across movements

💡Create events

💡Delegate tasks

💡Bridging to instant messaging apps, like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram

💡Onboard and engage people easily

📲 No internet no problem

Shortly, Acter will also support offline capabilities in areas with little to no

Internet access or with internet shutdowns.
