Proposal — website engineer consultancy for Amnesty International

Comms for a Cause Labs (C4AC) is a feminist communications and technology infrastructure organisation built on one foundational belief that the people most harmed by broken systems should be the ones who fix them.

We are a queer, trans, disabled, and neurodivergent-led team. Every member of our organisation comes from the communities most underserved by the technology sector; from India, Kashmir, and Jammu, where unreliable infrastructure, surveillance, and digital insecurity are daily material realities rather than abstract risks. That lived experience is not background context but the technical and political foundation of every platform we build.

In our first year of operation, C4AC Labs has supported 30+ organisations across 12+ countries, from global human rights alliances and UN-engaged coalitions to grassroots feminist collectives operating under political repression and surveillance. Our partners include GAGGA (a US-based alliance of 450+ organisations working on gender-just climate solutions), Just Associates (JASS), the Women's Environment and Development Organization (WEDO), Chayn, Avira Foundation, ILGA Asia, the Asia Pacific Transgender Network, Dalit Women Fight, Feminism in India, and 20+ further organisations across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.

We operate through two interconnected models: C4AC Labs, which delivers paid communications strategy, digital security, and technical infrastructure services to values-aligned organisations, and C4AC Foundation, which uses that revenue to provide pro bono support to grassroots movements doing urgent, high-risk work through our RREST programme. When you work with C4AC Labs, you are not only getting excellent technical work, you are directly sustaining infrastructure for the movements that need it most.
