In a moment defined by digital disruption, civic repression, and shrinking safe spaces for organising, infrastructure matters more than ever. At Acter, we believe that strong infrastructure is not only technical — it’s foundational to how movements organise, stay safe, and sustain their power.
That’s why we’re excited to announce our new partnership with HOST — a civil society infrastructure partner that provides expert Project Hosting services to movements working at the sharp edge of climate and social justice.
Together, Acter and HOST are equipping movements with the full spectrum of secure, high-trust organising support — from digital tools to back-office systems. Whether you’re coordinating across continents or navigating complex risks on the ground, this partnership is here to hold and strengthen your work.
"At HOST, we know that movements can't thrive on passion alone — they need secure, stable systems to carry their work forward. Our partnership with Acter brings together two essential pillars of organising: digital safety and operational infrastructure. Together, we’re making it possible for change-makers to act boldly, safely, and sustainably.”
— Liam Garcia-Lillis, Executive Director, HOST
What HOST brings
HOST specialises in high-trust, high-complexity environments, supporting movement-led initiatives with:
📊 Finance & grant management
🏛️ Legal registration & secure operations
👥 HR & payroll services
🔒 Risk and safeguarding frameworks
🌍 Global operations infrastructure
Their work enables activists and organisers to focus on frontline action — with fewer administrative burdens and greater operational safety.
Why this matters
Our Acter x HOST partnership is about creating resilient organising ecosystems — where both the digital and operational sides of movement infrastructure are secure, accessible, and aligned with justice values. As surveillance, censorship, and bureaucratic risk increase, we need collective, reliable systems that serve people — not profit.
Together, we’re building what comes after extraction and control. We’re investing in a future where activists and movements can thrive.
