I hope that you'll consider joining Knowledge Commons and supporting our mission: transforming the global knowledge ecosystem by providing the space and the tools for building solidarity among knowledge creators.

Knowledge Commons is not just a platform — we’re a coalition. And that coalition needs you. Read more on our blog and get involved today: about.hcommons.org/2025/12/18/j...

Our coalition brings together individuals and institutions who want to preserve and protect the knowledge they create and the communities that rely on it at a moment when both are under threat. Those threats include corporate enclosure and governmental overreach, each of which works to restrict access to the knowledge necessary to a free and functioning society.

The rationale is familiar; these programs are "not in the best interest of the Federal Government." This determination is astonishingly short-sighted and will have deep ramifications for the US's already difficult engagements with the rest of the world.
