The Analog Movement: Rebuilding Human Connection in the Default-Digital Age

31st July 2026

The Analog Movement is a discussion paper from Launch Pad Foundation making the case that human connection is community infrastructure.

In a default-digital age, the paper argues that philanthropy and community leaders should support the grassroots practices and local places that let people gather, participate, and belong. It frames real-world connection as a durable public good—not nostalgia or a luxury—and explores how technology can support, rather than displace, relational work.

The paper is intended to invite discussion among funders, practitioners, and community builders.
