Why is this International Conference called Free of Kings?

This conference was named after the Free of Kings project. To learn more about the Free of Kings project please click here.

The Organizers of the The International Free of Kings Build-It! Conference are a not-for-profit tech (and non-tech) group of people working for liberatory social change. Our purpose is to aid in the creation of a free society, a world with freedom from want and freedom of expression, a world without oppression or hierarchy, where power is shared equally. We do this by providing communication and computer resources to allies engaged in struggles against capitalism and other forms of oppression.
• We value, support, and engage in struggles for human liberation from self-empowered kings of society. We join in the fight for freedom and the self-determination of all oppressed groups. We oppose all forms of prejudice and authoritarianism.

• We organize on the basis of autonomy, mutual aid, resource sharing, participatory knowledge, social advocacy, anti-oppression work, community creation, and secure communication.

• We work to create revolution and a free society in the here and now by building alternative community infrastructure designed to oppose and replace the dominant system.

• We promote and encourage co-op, social ownership and democratic control over information, ideas, technology, and the means of communication and social networking.

• We empower organizations and individuals to use technology in struggles for liberation. We work to support each other in overcoming the systemic oppression embedded in the use and development of technology.

    "Imagine" by John Lennon Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today... Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... You, you may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You, you may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us...  ...and the world will live as one.
