What is One Free App & One Free Community
One Free Community is a BIPOC led collaborative project working toward building communities and providing disability & neuro-affirming spaces online through TikTok and Discord. We are a decolonization-focused advocacy organization committed to mutual aid and collective cross-solidarity activism.
OneFreeApp is an idea for an app. We want to make finding mutual aid and community easier. We want to make the most inclusive and accessible app for connection and helping each other.
Mission:
Reconnect humanity with meeting its needs via community rather than commerce. Connect people with needs to the people able to comfortably meet those needs, both locally and remotely, at zero cost to users. Needs can be anything that is needed to help a person thrive. Help can be physical, virtual, emotional, ect.
The app is the technology to accomplish this mission. A subsect of the community is focused on helping us build this app while sustaining the discord community.
Values:
- Anti-isms: Founded by BIPOC disability and LGBTQ+ members. We are against discrimination on the basis of sex, gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, disability, race, nationality, class, and status.
- Inclusivity: We center, uplift, and listen to marginalized voices and operate with social justice in mind
- Accessibility: We strive to be neurodivergent friendly and operate with disability justice in mind
- Free to users: Money from donations, grants, and sponsorships will help to fund the function of OFC. We will not sell data, or advertisements. Community Built, Community Organized, Community Run.
- Abundance Mindset: Assume positive intent and give grace.
- Collaborative Spoonie Model – an original OFC framework applying the social model of disability to the Holacratic Working Method for members’ wellbeing, wherein they only share what is within their energy to offer.
How we plan on getting there:
We are calling in like-minded people to help us make this app a reality. We are very conscious of everyone’s energy level aka. spoons. Everything you offer is optional. Help where you can, if you have the spoons to help. Each team is self organizing, Holacratic, and self perpetuating. Each role will have many redundancies to help spread out the workload. Each person can bring their unique experiences and share their talents and efforts as they wish to do so. OFA is a vision and we are working to make it a reality.
If you agree so far and want to be part of that team, find out more via the button below. If that is beyond your spoons right now, we understand.
If you can, please share and engage with our socials to help get the word out.
