Use Cases
Holis is being co-designed with a wide range of community organizers who are testing it in early pilot phases. These collaborators are helping shape every part of the platform — from onboarding flows to moderation systems, from privacy features to fundraising tools.
They're not just early adopters.
They're co-creators of the digital infrastructure they want to use.
Group Spaces
Resource Sharing
Community Profiles
Tenant Organizers & Housing Justice Networks
We're working with tenant organizers developing secure communication tools for their networks.
- Encrypted group coordination channels
- Emergency alerts (like eviction defense mobilizations)
- Decision-making tools for campaign planning
- Transparent management of pooled community funds
Mutual Aid Groups & Volunteer Collectives
From local mutual aid pods to regional relief efforts, we're learning from groups that coordinate:
- Deliveries and ride shares
- Needs requests and offers of support
- Shared ledgers for accountability
- Rotating stewardship models and non-hierarchical facilitation
Cultural Creatives & Event Organizers
We're co-designing with artists and event crews organizing everything from community raves to storytelling festivals.
- Real-time event coordination across roles
- RSVP and reminder tools
- Shared scheduling and venue communication
- Non-corporate ways to stay in touch after the event
Indigenous & Cultural Stewardship Networks
We're collaborating with cultural leaders and indigenous digital stewards looking for better tools.
- Safer alternatives to commercial messaging apps
- Tools that support intergenerational communication
- Digital infrastructure that aligns with their governance values
- The option to host and own their own data
Large Online Communities Looking for Autonomy
Some of our co-designers run massive online spaces that have been threatened or erased by platform takedowns.
- Moderation tools that scale without centralization
- User-controlled visibility for posts and updates
- Familiar-feeling spaces that are actually owned by the community
Built With Organizers, Not Just For Them
These use cases aren't hypothetical — they come from real-world organizers who are helping us test and shape Holis in live pilot environments.
We're still in early development and learning fast.
