I really want to start a mutual aid service where I give people free tech, like Google Pixels pre-loaded with GrapheneOS, but I haven’t seen many examples of how mutual aid works with expensive stuff. Does anyone have any ideas of how to equitably distribute such phones?

    Are you aware of resources about repurposing electronics and where to easily find such electronics?

      the source of those electronics are other people who don’t want them anymore, because they are “old” or broken.

      In germany there is a non-profit who accept donations of hardware and money and they fix old hardware to then give to people in need, (https://computertruhe.de/), maybe something like this would work?

      If you want to do this maybe find a couple of people to help or start small by yourself, fixing old computers is pretty easy if you have a couple of them to swap parts :)
