I think that's an amazing idea. How to do you feel about the mesh and our cryptoparty (2/23) being mentioned? As both are very practical methods of promoting secure and decentralized communications.

Hey all,
The Bay Area Public School has scheduled a surveillance awareness
event on Friday 2/21 7-9pm in the common room entitled Spied Upon:
Surveillance & Resistance. I was hoping we (sudo) could co-host this
event with BAPS, because I think it'd be really cool if we start doing
more events together. BAPS can do most all of the setup, but it'd be
great if Sudo can do outreach too, since I think it'd be in the
interest of both communities.
What do you think?
There's a twofold focus on informants and technological surveillance.
Here's the Sudo Room calendar EVENT LINK [1]. Details are below -
SPIED UPON: SURVEILLANCE AND RESISTANCE
Join us Friday February 21st 7-9 pm at the Bay Area Public School [2]
& Sudo Room
2141 Broadway (enter on 22nd), Oakland - three blocks from 19th St.
Bart!
Between the ever-present fear of informants to the profusion of
metadata collection and the construction of the Domain Awareness
Center [3] (DAC) in Oakland, the growing problem of surveillance has
made it into the mainstream dialog, but the people and communities
most affected are sometimes being left out of the conversation.
Join us for an evening of ideas, discussion and questions about
solidarity in the face of this intimidation. How do we support one
another and our movements when being targeted by police, surveillance
and informants? What are the legal, community and political responses
that can best keep the larger "us" safe and allow our movements to
flourish?
- SPEAKERS -
JASON KIRKPATRICK, filmmaker and activist, will show clips of and
discuss his upcoming film, _SPIED UPON_ [4]. Interviewing activists
across the world and telling his own personal story, Jason will take
us on a journey into one of Europe's biggest political surveillance
scandals, documenting growing movements of resistance to surveillance
along the way.
ZAHRA BILLOO, Civil rights attorney and Executive Director at the Bay
Area COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS [5] (CAIR), speaks on the
use of informants in a post-9/11 context, their impact, the
community's resistance and lessons learned.
RICHARD BROWN, Black Panther and member of the SF8 [6], will share his
history with undercover police and surveillance, imparting the 'long
view' of solidarity learned from a lifetime of activism.
- PANEL DISCUSSION -
Q & A with the speakers will follow in conversation with
representatives from:
BAY AREA ANTI-REPRESSION COMMITTEE [7]
BAY AREA COALITION TO STOP POLITICAL REPRESSION [8] (at AROC)
LEGAL WORKERS OF THE NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD [9] (NLG)
OAKLAND PRIVACY WORKING GROUP [10] (OPWG / anti-DAC)
All donations gratefully received will go to the Bay Area
Anti-Repression Committee and the Legal Workers at the Bay Area
chapter of the NLG - two groups long supporting the Bay Area radical
community with legal and educational assistance. Thank you!
