Editor's Note: Pirate Wires began in Miami, a vibrant city in the endless summer of South Florida, the ancestral land of right-wing Cubans, and elderly northeastern Jews. Today, we are connected online via a different system: a vast array of servers, cables, and computer devices maintained by human actors. In the United States, much of this infrastructure sits on stolen land acquired under the extractive logic of San Francisco yuppie expansion. As an organization, we recognize this history and uplift the sovereignty of Indigenous people, data, and territory. We commit, beyond symbolic rhetoric, to dismantling all ongoing settler-colonial practices and their material implications on our digital worlds.

Our website www.piratewires.com runs on servers located in unceded native lands (Little Havana).
