Description
                                    Protests and social movements have swept the U.S. in 2020, with activists relying on both public and private communications tools to help them in organizing, coordinating, and getting their messages out.
This session will focus on how encrypted communications have helped to facilitate protests and amplify social change within the United States and around the world. It will also discuss some of the security tools that journalists and activists depend on to do their important work.
