Digital Independence Day
Switch to the good side every first Sunday of the month!
Our digital lives are in the hands of a few ultra-rich individuals. Through the monopolistic positions of their companies, people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg dictate worldwide how we get our information online, how we discuss issues and communicate, or do business. A threat to our freedom! The good news is: We can take back control!
Digital Independence Day has been nominated for the prestigious German โGrimme Online Awardโ. Please support us with your vote!
The next DI.DAY is on 6 December
Every first Sunday of the month, we celebrate Digital Independence Day: We reclaim our freedom in the digital world, stop destroying democracy, and switch to democracy-friendly digital alternatives. And, step by step, we make sure we’re digitally independent!
The next DI.DAY is scheduled for 6 December! Please join us! And please tell others about it using the hashtag #DIDit or #DUTgemacht:
Let's switch together!
There are hundreds of events, not just in Germany but also in Portugal, Ireland and Colorado in the USA. It's more fun to switch together! Find your event on our calendar.
Tips & tricks that make sense
We carefully research our digital switch recipes and recommendations and consult with our advisory board, which represents a wide range of perspectives on this topic.
A broad alliance
DI.DAY is a grassroots movement. Many organisations contribute their own ideas and initiatives – from adult education centres and libraries to associations and companies. You can see some of them here:
Save Social funds this website through donations
The best way to help us is with a regular donation – so we can publish more digital switch recipes, establish the DI.DAY website for the long term, and grow it. We can strengthen democracy if we work together. Thank you!
Can you help with the translation?
We'd like to offer this website in other languages as well. Can you help us with that? If you’re confident in your ability to translate our content into another language, we’d love to hear from you. Thank you!
