Ironically enough, there is another less obvious high-risk community justly concerned about security in the wake of the election results:
* The few of we local, more silent and discrete voters who switched our allegiances all the way from Bernie Sanders to Donald Trump following this June's Primary Election, and who are very much concerned with the realistic  scenario that behind-the-scenes we '''will''' 1) get ferreted-out, positively identified, and isolated, 2) be unwillingly thrust into numerically disadvantaged, highly accusatory, unhealthy debate, and ultimately, 3) become targeted for various forms of obvious and much more subtle retaliatory actions clearly directed against us (e.g., mob reaction, blacklisting, harassment.)

We hope you'll join us for this important workshop, where experienced guides will explain practical digital security measures you can take to prepare for January 2017, when Donald Trump gains control of the United States' police and spy agencies. Expect down-to-earth advice and hands-on guidance geared to a non-technical audience.

Where: Noisebridge Hackerspace, 2169 Mission Street, Third Floor

When: November 22nd, 6:30pm - 9:00pm

We want to help everyone concerned about their security under the Trump administration, but we especially want to help high-risk communities, including:

  • Immigrant communities, undocumented or otherwise
  • Muslim religious groups
  • Communities of color
  • Educators working with undocumented students
  • Lawyers representing undocumented clients
  • Journalists
  • Civil rights activists
  • LGBTQ people
  • Victims of harassment and stalking

We will be working partly from the EFF's Surveillance Self-Defense Guide. You should come away from this workshop with a better understanding of your personal "threat model" and better security on your devices. Make sure you bring your laptop and your phone!

Our awesome friends at Keybase are providing food and drinks, and will give a breakout talk about the Keybase Filesystem.

You can RSVP on Meetup to help us estimate how many people are coming, but it's not required!

If you would like to volunteer as a guide or organizer, email John Shutt at jds@riseup.net.
