Riseup
Riseup is a volunteer-run collective providing secure email, VPN and online services; the organization was launched by activists in Seattle in 1999.[1]
Its mission is to fight social control and mass surveillance through distribution of secure tools.
As of 2013, they feature 6 million subscribers spread across 14,000 lists.[1] Their projects have included the StopWatching.Us petition against global surveillance disclosures revealed by Edward Snowden.[1]
In January 2015 the Electronic Frontier Foundation criticised the arrests of anarchists in Spain which were reported to have been partially attributed to the 'extreme security measures' of using Riseup.[2][3]
