Dear Friend,

Kicking off on Tuesday, May 19th, our MediaJustice Network, in collaboration with Peopleshub and Tiny Gigantic, will host a series of conversations and workshops, Defend Our Movements in the time of Covid-19. The series is part of Team #MediaJustice’sDefend Our Movements ([link removed]) work, in collaboration with May First Movement Technologies, to assist organizations and organizers to build their analysis and technical know-how, and to make strategic decisions around their digital presence and safety.

To launch this new series, our first workshop, Circle: Origins of Digital Self-Defense, will be an intergenerational dialogue on the history and impact of surveillance and harassment of organizers. We’ll explore what is at stake now that most of our organizing has shifted online. The conversation will conclude with a peer strategy clinic to go deeper into the threats, risks, and community care strategies we need to respond to the moment. The Circle will be held on Tuesday, May 19th from 3-5 pm EST. Register to attend The Circle! ([link removed])

This initial Circle will be followed by a series of workshops in May and June on digital self-defense strategies for organizations and organizers. Register to attend The Circle and the following 3 workshops. ([link removed])
