Connect to the work of tech justice, post-Catalyst
Catalyst CIC closed on 31 March 2026. The story of tech justice continues. Here’s how to find our legacy tools and resources, and to discover the places where parts of the work continue.
What would you like to do?
- Connect with ongoing tech justice work
- Use Catalyst’s resources
- Explore Catalyst’s past work
- Understand Catalyst’s values and approach
1. Connect with ongoing tech justice work
What’s happening now – new thinking, practice, and organising around tech justice.
- Receive updates from people and groups continuing this work, check out Tech Justice Stories, the successor to our newsletter and publication. Stewarded by Multitudes Co‑op and curated by tech justice researcher, Siana Bangura. Sign up for Tech Justice Stories.
- Connect with organising, convening and learning spaces that have grown from Catalyst’s network you can also contact the legacy coalition via Siana at Multitudes Co-op
- Learn about wider digital justice organising, convening and funding across Europe (including the UK) visit Weaving Liberation’s website.
- Find funding to support your justice‑centred digital work, explore Find a Funder, a directory now stewarded by UpEffect. Browse Find a Funder.
- Find or use evidence about how technology causes harm and injustice, see the Tech Injustice Evidence Repository, now stewarded by Shaf Choudry and Stacey Kelly‑Maher. Visit the Tech Injustice Evidence Repository.
- Change how money moves into tech justice work, you can connect with UpEffect. They are stewarding the Funder Forum, which has brought funders and justice‑focused groups together to talk honestly about power, funding practices and what needs to shift. Read about the Forum’s previous work, or express interest in joining a future event – email Sheeza Shah at UpEffect.
Each of these spaces is held by different stewards. They are part of the wider tech justice network. Read more about them in After Catalyst: tech justice legacies and new homes.
2. Use Catalyst’s resources
Most of the resources Catalyst created between 2019–2026 are still available. You can keep using, adapting and building on them. All are creative commons.
Tech justice resources 2024-26
- Browse all 42 resources

- Read stories and case studies from the UK and Global South showing how technology can be harnessed for justice in The Tech Justice Roadtrip Zine
- Learn about our adventures in structuring ways to share power and improve collective decision-making in Sociocracy and Catalyst

Unless otherwise stated, these materials are shared under a Creative Commons licence. Please check individual pages for details, and credit the work if you reuse or adapt it.

3. Explore Catalyst’s past work

- Read insights, stories and reflections:
- Browse the news archive and our Medium publication.

- Legacies and new homes: the network’s future direction after Catalyst
- Moving resources, relationships and attention into the wider ecosystem: our impact and learning summary 2025-26.
These pages are here as a record of what we tried, what we learned and what others might want to adapt.
4. Understand Catalyst’s values and approach
Catalyst’s legal body has closed, but we’re proud of the values and practices that underpinned our work.
- Read about our values (love, equity, curiosity, interdependence) and how they showed up in our work on our values page.
- Explore our approach and story – how we took action, how we thought about infrastructure, and how the network evolved over time. Read what we did and our story.
Please note: these pages are now part of a static archive. They describe what we did and believed during 2024–2026, rather than an active offer.
If you’re designing something similar, you are warmly invited to use, question and adapt any of this – with credit where it’s helpful.
5. I’m trying to contact Catalyst
Because Catalyst CIC has closed, there is no active team and we are not able to respond to new enquiries or requests.
If you are:
- Looking for support, collaboration or funding: please explore the stewarded network spaces listed above, especially Tech Justice Stories.
- Looking for permission to reuse or adapt resources: most materials are already licensed for reuse. Please check the relevant page or document.
- Trying to reach a specific person who once worked with or for Catalyst: contact them through their current organisation or network. Ellie Hale could be a good starting point.
Why we chose to close
We chose to close Catalyst CIC in March 2026 as a values‑led decision. The work had become bigger and more distributed than any single organisation. It felt right for resources and decision‑making to move more directly into the hands of the people and networks holding it. Read our closure announcement.
A note on this site as an archive
This website, and connected media accounts, are now a static archive covering the years 2019–2026. Some language on older pages will still say “we are doing…” rather than “we did…”. Where we’ve updated pages, we’ve tried to be clear about dates, status, and where to go instead.
We’re grateful to everyone who shaped this work – and to everyone who is now carrying it forward in different forms.
