You broke the internet. We'll make ourselves a GNU one

I empathize with their goals, but the jargon limits this to an audience consisting entirely of the choir, and the tone is so preachy that not even the choir will want to listen.
It's the FSF that reaches the wider audiences through their guerrilla tactics.
The idea is nice but the delivery is so bad that I think you should go back to the drawing board. If you communicate this poorly it'll never see real adoption.
No offense but you've made life difficult for:
1) Screen readers. 2) Colorblind folks. 3) Anyone with poor eyesight, really, by basically making the font a different shade of the same color on the background.
Please fix the site before you try to publicize this more. :/
OK.
"... enabling us to unfold a carefree digital living."
With completely untraceable digital harassers. Lovely.
The thing is, the problem they're trying to solve is real. Governments aren't angels; they're composed of human beings who are selfish, manipulative, and power hungry, and who are far too often willing to step beyond the rule of law because "the situation demanded it" (or because they really wanted to). But the rest of the problem is, the people aren't angels either, and if you give them a completely anonymous internet, they won't just use it against governments that overstep their bounds. They'll use it against each other, too, in some spectacularly nasty ways.
The site seems to be a plug for this video:
https://gnunet.org/ghm2014knock
This proposes a port-knocking scheme to deter port scanning. 20 minutes of sickly yellow on purple PowerPoint. That's an idea of limited value; port-knocking is security by obscurity. Any widespread use of port-knocking implies it will be known to attackers.
They have a legislative program. It's here:

1999 called. It wants the BLINK tag back.
The legislative proposal is to require end to end cell phone encryption plus onion routing for all phones. Maybe for other devices; there are sections in the document labelled "Fixme" on that. Specific encryption standards are specified; unclear if those are good choices or not. The overhead and lag for onion routing for voice would be high.
It's worth having this out there, but it's not a plan, it's a collection of stuff in search of a plan.
• "Web Browser / WebRTC / AJAX"
• "NNTP / IRC" (completely unrelated, but shown together)
• "X.509 / DNS & DANE / SMTP & XMPP / Federation" (again, all mostly unrelated technologies)
Bonus points to "Faceboogle". Really?

Yet, the creators continue to wonder why those outside the tech world approach these issues with a high level of apathy.
A movement filled with in-jokes and "geeky humor" will never gain the support from the general public desperately needed for real change.
The name has been pushed towards distributions and products a long time ago.
