Digital Security for Activists on the Go

March 19, 2025 • By 18MR

Whether you’ve driving from your home to the local coffee shop, entering the TSA line at the airport, and heading to a protest, learn tips and tools to protect your digital security while on the go.

This 1.5 hr training will cover best practices to protect your devices, data, and communications when traveling in your community or out of town. Together, we’ll discuss high tech threats and safety planning, and practice exercising our rights in scenarios such as border crossing and other in-person encounters with law enforcement.

This training is for activists, organizers, and anyone who is part of a targeted community and at risk of harassment.

Hosted by 18 Million Rising and Tiny Gigantic with a Know Your Digital Rights guest presentation led by Emi Maclean, Senior Staff Attorney at the ACLU of Northern California.

Live captioning provided. This training will be recorded.
