Manifesto

H.U.M.L.A. is a political and cultural laboratory aimed at promoting freedom of politics, activism, press, software and all people. We provide resources such as computers with free software and free internet access, info, books, meeting space, creative impulse and panzercoffee. The H.U.M.L.A. collective organizes through flat structures and decentralized networks, reclaiming the right to manifest social change through self\-organization outside of political institutions.
H.U.M.L.A. recognizes a diversity of tactics and approaches for acheiving social change, from passive resistance to confrontational, non\-violent direct action.

H.U.M.L.A. endorses PGA’s Hallmarks:

1. A very clear rejection of capitalism, imperialism and feudalism; all trade agreements, institutions and governments that promote destructive globalisation.
2. We reject all forms and systems of domination and discrimination including, but not limited to, patriarchy, racism and religious fundamentalism of all creeds. We embrace the full dignity of all human beings.
3. A confrontational attitude, since we do not think that lobbying can have a major impact in such biased and undemocratic organisations, in which transnational capital is the only real policy\-maker.
4. A call to direct action and civil disobedience, support for social movements’ struggles, advocating forms of resistance which maximise respect for life and oppressed peoples’ rights, as well as the construction of local alternatives to global capitalism.
5. An organisational philosophy based on decentralisation and autonomy.

What are the intentions of Humla

1. Offering a space for meetings, discussions, lectures of different communities we have affinity with.
2. Being a permanent workshop space for hackers and activists to meet and share inspirations, access different medias, discuss and plan activities, work together in the wider sense.
3. Promoting awareness in the technological field.
4. Spreading independent media: books, magazines, media of every kind (videos, music, multimedia). Some of the materials can be out for sale.

Offering a space where is possible to access internet for free, share knowledge, study/present new technologies, help people wo want to build, repair or understand any type of device.

Providing tools to work with different technologies, servicing other groups in the digital field (organizing the net distribution in Hausmania, providing computers to people who might need them, helping other non\-profit organizations), train hackers, common people, artists or other activists in sensible and cautious use of computers, aid them in getting a decent digital life and help them to self\-help.

Humla defines itself, between the other things, as a Hacklab; that is, in very simple words, a laboratory to promote the developing of hacking skills. To understand what we mean with the term hacking you can check this webpage: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker\-howto.html

No type of religious or institutional, party\-political propaganda is allowed in the space, as this is a community which despises hierarchy and authority and who does not identify with any institutionally political entity or organized religious organization or creed. Neither is sexist or racist propaganda, since we condemn discrimination and prejudices of any kind.
Neither is nationalistic propaganda, as this is a transnational community not identifying with any specifical national identity or culture. Neither are commercial sponsors or brands, as this is a community who does not approve patents, trade\-marking of intellectual or practical activity, consumerism, and who operates in a non\-profit framework.
