Social and ecological systems around the world are experiencing multiple crises [1]. Decision makers have shown a lack of ability or will to take action to reduce current social and ecological injustices [2]. However, individuals without formal political or economic power can contribute to peacefully guiding the world back to a sustainable pathway. The Dandelion Hub (https://dhub.global) serves as a central repository for de-central, non-violent actions for ecosocial justice. The Dandelion Hub (DHub) uses a web frontend (R/Shiny) and database backend (MariaDB) to record and report actions across a broad spectrum of non-violent actions according to the classification by Sharp (1973) [3]. As of 2024-01-28, 2,389,238 activists across 615 actions in 180 cities, 50 countries, and 6 continents, who took part in non-violent actions between 2018-08-20 to 2024-01-14, are represented in the repository. Open-source technology, such as R/Shiny, can contribute to the socio-ecological transformation of society.
