We hope you'll join us for this important workshop, where experienced guides will explain practical digital security measures you can take to prepare for January 2017, when Donald Trump gains control of the United States' police and spy agencies. Expect down-to-earth advice and hands-on guidance geared to a non-technical audience.

'''Where: Noisebridge Hackerspace, 2169 Mission Street, Third Floor'''

'''When: November 22nd, 6:30pm - 9:00pm'''

We want to help everyone concerned about their security under the Trump administration, but we especially want to help high-risk communities, including:

* Immigrant communities, undocumented or otherwise

* Muslim religious groups

* Communities of color

* Educators working with undocumented students

* Lawyers representing undocumented clients

* Journalists

* Civil rights activists

* LGBTQ people

* Victims of harassment and stalking

We will be working partly from the [https://ssd.eff.org/ EFF's Surveillance Self-Defense Guide]. You should come away from this workshop with a better understanding of your personal [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threat_model "threat model"] and better security on your devices. Make sure you bring your laptop and your phone!

Our awesome friends at [https://keybase.io/ Keybase] are providing food and drinks, and will give a breakout talk about the Keybase Filesystem.

You can RSVP on [https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/235536338/ Meetup] to help us estimate how many people are coming, but it's not required!
