Our current Mission Statement is:
Our Mission
The mission of the AssangeDAO is to inspire a powerful solidarity network and fight for the freedom of Julian Assange.
What is AssangeDAO’s Mission?
AssangeDAO’s primary mission is to free Julian Assange. As cypherpunks, we aim to liberate him from the legacy justice system through decentralised efforts.
I believe now AssangeDAO has completed it’s primary mission and must vote on a new mission - perhaps ‘fight for the continued freedom and pardon of Julian Assange’ is good but perhaps that is too narrow of scope.
Discussion on aligning our mission to the objectives of Wau Holland
For Wau Holland, we must remember that the DAO raised contributions and purchased the NFT from Pak. And Pak donated the funds to Wau Holland. The DAO has no insight or partnership or control with Wau Holland.
According to Wau Holland Foundation’s website their mission is:
'The Foundation carries on the courageous works of Wau Holland (Herwart Holland-Moritz) against totalitarian structures, and for the unconditional upholding of human rights in order to reinforce the peaceful coexistence of peoples.
To this end, the Foundation promotes global freedom-of-information and informational self-determination. The objective is to archive and further Wau Holland’s enlightened body of ideas, and to make them accessible to the public in a suitable format. The Foundation also promotes worldwide scientific discourse through conferences and the dissemination of scholarly materials. In the interests of freedom-of-information, it particularly supports the distribution of materials for scientific & scholarly purposes that would otherwise be inaccessible to the public, through technical and legal methods.
The Foundation regards itself as a non-profit institution that empowers responsible individuals and organisations with the opportunity to dedicate themselves toward these goals. Donations are collected and utilized to accomplish the Foundation’s tasks / objectives.’
New Potential AssangeDAO Mission Statement
AssangeDAO is dedicated to securing a presidential pardon for Julian Assange and advancing global freedom of information, whistleblower protections, and transparency to uphold human rights. Inspired by the pursuit of truth and justice, we empower decentralized communities to advocate for Assange’s exoneration, protect those who expose systemic injustices, and promote the free flow of knowledge for public, scientific, and scholarly purposes. Through community-driven governance, we build a global solidarity network that champions press freedom, resists censorship, and fosters equitable access to information for the betterment of society.’
But perhaps that is missing some things and is too wordy.
Revised New Potential AssangeDAO Mission Statement
To fight for Julian Assange’s full freedom, including his pardon, and to advance his vision of achieving justice by championing truth, transparency, free speech, whistleblower protection, human rights, and the end of wars through decentralized action.
Example of defining the DAOs values
Relates to a potential VALUES statement:
Julian Assange’s values, as reflected through his work and public statements, centres on transparency, truth, and the empowerment of individuals through access to information. He champions the principle of government and institutional accountability, believing that exposing hidden truths is essential for justice and democratic integrity. Assange values freedom of expression and the press, viewing them as critical tools for challenging power structures and fostering open discourse. His commitment to protecting whistleblowers underscores his belief in the courage of those who risk personal safety to reveal systemic wrongs. Above all, Assange’s actions with WikiLeaks suggest a deep conviction in the public’s right to know, prioritizing collective awareness over secrecy to promote a more informed and equitable world.
Squirrell said:
If the DAO continues, I think the new goal / mission should be focused on the pardon of Mr. Assange, even though it could have multiple goals at the same time, if others wish so. In my opinion, it’s more efficient to focus on one single thing, rather than XX things. Yes, Julian is free, but only because he plead guilty of journalism. Until this is not resolved, Journalists are still at risk. Julian lost so many years of his life without freedom. I think he should have all the time in the world now with his kids and recover of this nightmare.

From Logan
For mission and vision, I strongly agree with Zylo’s framing:To fight for Julian Assange’s full freedom, including his pardon, and to advance his vision of achieving justice by championing truth, transparency, free speech, whistleblower protection, human rights, and the end of wars through decentralized action.

Please upload the AssangeDAO logo to the website.
We should unify our logo. The official website and social media (X, Discord, and Telegram) should all use a unified logo. Consider using $Justice’s logo. A unified image will help AssangeDAO’s branding. Please update the logo on the website
