The Just Net Coalition's manifesto argues that the 'intelligencification' of society has led to unprecedented economic and political control by a few global 'intelligence corporations' that monopolize data and cloud computing techno-structures. The document calls for a fundamental shift in power, asserting that data subjects must own their data individually and collectively and that key digital infrastructures should be governed as public utilities. It proposes 16 principles to achieve digital justice, including the decentralization of techno-structures, the breaking of global digital monopolies, and the establishment of public-interest bodies to develop digital standards. The manifesto emphasizes a 'local-to-global' governance architecture where national polities remain the anchors of self-determination and data is processed close to its point of origin.

The Digital Justice Manifesto, launched by the Just Net Coalition, calls for the reclamation of digital power from 'intelligence corporations'. It proposes 16 principles centered on the individual and collective ownership of data, the treatment of key digital infrastructures as public utilities, and the democratic governance of datafication from a local-to-global perspective.

The document outlines ten core demands for a just energy transition, emphasizing that energy should be treated as a common good rather than a commodity. It calls for the dismantling of capitalist and patriarchal systems of oppression, the repayment of climate debt by developed nations to the global South, and the prioritisation of small-scale, decentralised renewable technologies. The manifesto advocates for 'energy sufficiency' to end overconsumption by elites while ensuring universal access for the poor, and insists on a just transition that protects the rights and livelihoods of energy sector workers.

The document outlines ten demands for a systemic change in the global energy landscape, emphasizing that energy should be treated as a common good rather than a commodity. It advocates for 'energy sufficiency' to eliminate overconsumption by elites while ensuring universal access to basic energy needs. The manifesto calls for a rapid transition to 100% renewable energy, specifically prioritizing small-scale, decentralized technologies over large-scale projects that may cause land grabbing or biodiversity loss. It emphasizes a 'just transition' that protects workers' rights and addresses historical climate debts owed by the Global North to the Global South. Central to its argument is the concept of energy sovereignty, where communities—particularly women and marginalized groups—have democratic control over their energy production and use.

The document presents a manifesto for 'Energy Sovereignty Now!', calling for a shift away from capitalist and neoliberal energy models toward a system centered on human rights, environmental justice, and community control. It outlines ten demands, including the transition to 100% renewable energy, the recognition of energy as a common good rather than a commodity, and the implementation of a just transition that protects workers and marginalized groups. The manifesto emphasizes the historical responsibility of the Global North to provide climate finance and lead in emission reductions, while advocating for decentralized, small-scale renewable technologies managed democratically by local communities.

The document outlines the challenges and opportunities of digital technologies from a social justice and theological perspective. It identifies systemic inequalities—such as digital divides, gender-based violence online, and the 'attention economy'—and proposes a set of communication rights and principles to create a digital ecosystem based on equity, transparency, and the common good.
