[HacktionLab] Activist friendly web/tech services

[Kate Dawson]

Hi world, 

If we're adverting our shops here then...

webarchitects.coop are a workers cooperative providing hosting for 
all sorts of people, including activist organisations. 
We have a cooperative model that allow customers to become members also,
so they can become involved in decision making and development
directions.

Hosting is based in the UK or Iceland, depending on costs, and legal
issues you think you may face. 

All hosting is based powered by "goodenergy" in the UK from renewables or 
hydrothermal in Iceland.

Regards, 

Kate Dawson
