POST-ELECTION DIGITAL SECURITY 101

November 7, 2024 • By 18MR

Stay safe online after the election! The 2024 election has ended in a firestorm of racism and misogyny, threats, and intimidation. We know the outcome of this race will embolden the far right and escalate fascism. It’s critical that we stay grounded and keep each other safe through digital security.

Join us for Digital Security 101 for activists, organizers, and anyone from a community that may be targeted by online attacks and government repression.

From right-wing doxxing to high-tech police surveillance, our progressive communities are under threat. But we can keep ourselves and our movements safe through digital security. Together, we’ll cover tips and tools to protect your devices, accounts, personal data, and communications.

This introductory training will teach you the basics of staying safe, online and in the streets, while fighting for liberation.
