Cybersecurity. Community. Common Sense.
Grass Roots Cyber is an unincorporated nonprofit association dedicated to building digital resilience in local communities through open collaboration, practical education, and collective stewardship. We believe that cybersecurity is for everyone, and we aim to make that real — from libraries to school districts, from hackerspaces to farms.

Why Grass Roots?
We root ourselves in the commons — in the belief that care, collaboration, and practical knowledge grow stronger from the ground up. We’re building a federated, transparent, and regenerative network of security-aware humans and institutions who protect what matters most: each other.
