Hi friends,
The free and open web is an important space for our social movements. But recent developments are undermining the equity and security of the web. So in addition to resources and webinars to bolster your online presence, we've rounded up some tools to help protect you from digital surveillance and non-allies.
What's inside
Digital Security for activists & nonprofits
|
Email encryption is one way to affirm your right to digital privacy. Check out the encryption resources we used at the Allied Media Conference in June, where we discussed surveillance of racial justice activists. Thanks Jack and Jamila from Palante Tech for your collaboration in Detroit.
Security culture at NGOs means having a safe space to discuss risks, mistakes, and best practices. On July 23rd, we collaborated on a TA Initiative webinar to share our thoughts on surveillance and digital security at NGO's. The webinar recording can be found here.
Starting a conversation is the first step towards creating a safer space. We were humbled to host a session at the Maven Youth Tech Camp at Mozilla's SF office on July 11th, where we discussed the surveillance and privacy concerns facing LGBTQ youth activists.
