Info-Activism Toolkit (Tactical Tech)

Summary

The Tactical Tech Collective Info-Activism Toolkit — the open-source / CC-BY toolkit for digital-, data- and information-activism practices published by Tactical Tech Collective (originally at informationactivism.org, with content moved to xyz.informationactivism.org/en/). Registered here as stub because the homepage scrape recovered only an essay excerpt, not the toolkit proper. [source: info-activism-toolkit]

The 2026-07-03 Playwright browser-pass at xyz.informationactivism.org/en/ recovered 402 chars — the single surviving body line is the lead of a Nicole Shephard essay: “In this essay, Nicole Shephard turns to gender and sexuality as technologies that are also mobilised along the border, operating to structure admission and exclusion of asylum seekers who have fled persecution based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. It shows how gendered logics of classification and sexual taxonomies work to reproduce and normalise a particular set of queer identities” [source: info-activism-toolkit]. The toolkit proper — the original Tactical-Collective-published Info-Activism Toolkit’s modules (Use the Internet to Plan an Action; Use Email and SMS Tools; Use Tools for Privacy and Anonymity; Visualise Data; etc.) — was historically hosted on informationactivism.org/en/toolkit/; the deep link is not in this scrape.

Tactical Tech’s Info-Activism Toolkit was a precursor to their later “Digital First Aid Kit” / “Data Detox” / “Me and My Shadow” / “Holo-labs” / “Personal-Data-Decision-Tree” programme — together the open-source Tactical Tech information-activism stack.
