In an age where the digital privacy and security of activists are under constant siege, the imperative for change-makers to equip themselves with the critical knowledge and tools to protect their missions and communities has never been more urgent.

This event is designed to empower activists with the knowledge of decentralized technologies that serve to bolster privacy and enhance security measures.

The agenda includes a blend of insightful talks and live demonstrations by leading Makers of public good technologies.

App Demos

1. Snowflake: a free and open-source censorship circumvention tool from The Tor Project.
2. Signal: why most chat tools are problematic for privacy, how they can be exploited, and how Signal can help. Freedom of the Press Foundation will demo some basic Signal features that will benefit activists.
   
3. Quiet: a "Slackier Signal" for teams doing sensitive work.
   
4. Self-help security education with Surveillance Self-Defense: the EFF's repository of how-to guides and explainers for protecting yourself and your friends online.
