A social centre for better living
Scribe is a private research and campaign group for better, inclusive living
A lot of the systems people live inside are treated as fixed simply because they are normal. SCRIBE looks at those systems, the assumptions behind them, the people they leave out, and the alternatives that might work better. We publish research, essays, briefings, campaigns and practical proposals. Sometimes that means defending established ideas that work well. Sometimes it means asking whether something everyone takes for granted deserves another look.
Privacy is one of SCRIBE’s core principles. People should be able to live lawful private lives without unnecessary surveillance, exposure, data collection or pressure to explain themselves. We are not interested in replacing one rigid way of living with another. The aim is more choice, less unnecessary harm and systems flexible enough to fit actual human beings.
