Hack The Earth 2026: In Defense of Territories is a gathering to weave alliances between defenders of territories and the networks of life, ancient and communal knowledge, and the internet and free media.

American billionaire Warren Buffett, with an estimated fortune of 133 billion dollars, has said: "There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning." We keep experiencing situations of disbelief, fear, and anger related to the accelerating destruction by the criminal alliance formed by capitalism, patriarchy, and colonialism. Genocide of the Palestinian people with the help of META and Microsoft, invasion and usurpation of oil-rich countries, conversion of territories into extractable strategic resources through the murder of defenders and resisting communities, destruction of ecosystem diversity to add more cement and data centers, distortion of truth and evidence through AI-generated videos. We've seen how tech giants finally removed their politically correct mask to show their true face: technofascism based on mass surveillance, militarization of their technologies, outrageous proposals to feed their clouds while they dry up the rivers.

How do we break out of this loop where we can only react to the neocon agenda and find ways to rethink new forms of collective action, self-management processes, and convergence between movements? Our humble proposal for this Hack the Earth (HTE) is to bring together defenders—of the land and of the internet—to exchange knowledge, learn, and, if possible, create new forms of articulation to defend territories while we defend ourselves from this system.

We defend territories and the webs of life, we defend ancient and communal knowledge, we create new worlds. We know that the diversity of ecosystems and technical systems must take priority. In this HTE we're going to build bridges and weave alliances between the sovereignty of our bodies, food sovereignty, and technological sovereignty.

Starting from communality and from the fact that we all share the need to inform and communicate with our support networks and allies, we want to make explicit what we do so that our reflections, demands, proposals, and collective actions reach more people. We want to document our memories, collect evidence and testimonies, so that our struggles, so necessary to transform and change the world, are not left without a voice, without a space to build. In this HTE we're going to discuss and politicize our practices with information and communication technologies, and we're going to reflect on their psychological, social, political, ecological, and economic costs. We'll also look at ways that movements defending digital rights can weave alliances with movements defending territories.
