According to the UN, more than a third of the world's population has never used the internet. In 2020, in Africa alone half the population had no access to the internet. Why should this concern you? Because a fair and free internet benefits us all. Access to global technologies can save lives. It helps people thrive; to live to their full potential. And it empowers collectives to speak out, to rise up, to resist. To help us all do better as a species. |

Greenpeace co-founder Bob Hunter coined the term “mind bombs” for visual things that reach your heart and make you think again. To create an ecology movement, he realized, Greenpeace had to come up with images that would “circulate the globe and inspire people to recognize their fundamental ecological nature, their kinship with every living creature on Earth.” Explore his legacy.
In her popular TED talk, Priscilla advocates for collective access to the opportunities and potential the internet provides, underscoring the necessity of free and fair digital rights for all. Reliance on the internet is so common and seemingly ubiquitous, yet billions of people worldwide still go without it.
