The codex’s closing chapter names the move — awaken, remember, resist; do not comply, do not consent. This shelf lists the real organizations already making it: nonpartisan, documentation-first work that answers the codex’s themes in the open, with the record attached. Every entry links out — the organization first, then its public record.
Defends digital rights — privacy, free expression, and encryption — through courts, policy, and tools.
Why it’s here: The codex's Grid panels warn of the scored, surveilled citizen; EFF is the organization that has spent thirty-five years litigating and building against exactly that — the resistance, in the record, with case law attached.
Teaches people — especially students — how to verify what they read: source-checking, evidence, the discipline of the claim.
Why it’s here: The codex's first counter-move is awaken — and awakening, in practice, is a skill. NLP teaches it in classrooms: how to check a claim before you carry it. The whole method of this archive, taught as curriculum.
Preserves the public record — the Wayback Machine, millions of books, films, and broadcasts — so the past stays checkable.
Why it’s here: The codex's second move is remember. Every library page in this archive leans on preserved texts — and the Archive is the reason the record survives link rot, reprints, and revision. Robison's 1797 book is readable tonight because someone kept it.
Helps anyone file public-records requests — and publishes what governments actually answer.
Why it’s here: The transmissions claim the plan's paperwork is hidden; MuckRock is the counter-instrument — the FOIA request, filed by anyone, answered on the record. The codex's 'evidence in plain sight' panels, operationalized.
Nonprofit investigative journalism — documented, sourced, and free to read — testing power with the record.
Why it’s here: The codex's method — the claim beside the record — is what investigative journalism does at full scale. ProPublica does it with documents, not mythology: the counter-plan's newsroom wing.
Researches and challenges surveillance worldwide — the documented record of the watching apparatus, country by country.
Why it’s here: The Grid is the codex's invented architecture; Privacy International maps the real one — vendors, laws, deployments — with the files to show for it. The mythology says the watchers are hidden; the record says they are catalogued.
Listed because their work answers the codex's themes. Inclusion here is not endorsement — theirs of this codex, or ours of every position they take. Every entry links out: the organization's own site first, then the public record of what it is.
The full shelf is in Films — The Counter-Plan group: nine documented-resistance titles, each linked and aligned.
Reading the codex first? Chapter IX — Awaken, Remember, Resist is the mythology’s version of this shelf; the Documented trail walks the same ground through the real record: The Documented — a reading trail.
