[sudo-discuss] Pursuance is building a global federation of activist groups

[Steve Phillips]

Hey, all!

As many of you know, at my Saturday hackathons at Noisebridge I've been
working with @clairep and others on Pursuance -- *open source,
self-hostable, end-to-end encrypted task management software* to amplify
the efforts of activists, journalists, and nonprofits.

Pursuance was started by formerly-imprisoned journalist and activist
Barrett Brown, who went to jail for his crowdsourced journalism
investigations into Palantir and others (see https://www.thenation.com/arti
cle/strange-case-barrett-brown/ ) based on his going through of hacked
emails that had been dumped onto the internet, and we're building Pursuance
so people can more effectively and securely coordinate these kinds of
actions online as part of *a global federation of activist groups opposing
injustice*.

And as my 5MoF talk a couple weeks ago mentioned, we just started a
Kickstarter to fund the completion of the first major version that we're
building (I'm the architect and lead dev)!  *We just reached our initial
goal of $48k(!)*, and there's some awesome stretch goals I'd love to get to
as well.

Anything you can do to spread the word would be appreciated.  Thank you
much!
