Mission

The Occupy Apps group is concerned with developing, cataloging and promoting applications and software of use to occupations, protests, and civil manifestations. This includes a focus on secure peer-to-peer mesh networking technologies using ad hoc infrastructure and integrated with a range of mobile devices.

Purpose
Secure, decentralized communication media are essential for maintaining resilience in the context of political movements and events. Without autonomous systems, communication channels can be easily monitored or shut down, or fall prey to conventional connectivity disruptions at crucial moments. With autonomous systems, occupiers and protestors can maintain their own networks using hardware in the vicinity and integrate it with their own computers and mobile devices.
