May First/People Link is a membership-led and driven organization comprised of about 450 organizations and another 400 individuals making for a total of nearly 3,000 people in the organization. It is a politically progressive organization, democratically run, and organized in both the United States and Mexico

Alfred explains:

  • Why you should care about what type of ISP you have (Hint: They can see and share your online traffic)
  • Why MF/PL was setup as a unique alternative Internet provider.
  • How their infra-structure is different than most ISPs (support, server maintenance, and staffing) and why.
  • How democracy works in MF/PL and the success and challenges they have had.
  • The political challenges they face including lack of diversity in technology.
  • How other movements, such as the Climate Change movement, interact and enrich the members of the collective.
