Enzyme, the online community catalyst, is a radical tech collective that provides web and email hosting and support to individuals, groups and organisations engaged in non-authoritarian struggles for human liberation, the ethical treatment of animals, and ecological sustainability. We currently host anti-racist, GE-free, animal rights, environmental, anarchist, indyradio and other alternative media websites as well as provide emails and email lists for activists all over the country. Once our running costs are covered, excess funds will be put towards purchasing our own server or to leasing space from an existing non-profit hosting collective overseas. Enzyme recognises that the Internet is not a substitute for 'real-life' struggles but acknowledges that it is an aide that should be freely available to those who may otherwise not have the resources to afford professional hosting, who don't want commercial advertising that come with 'free' services or who wish to support a project run on principles they support.
