Email Encryption with PGP

Next episode of our Digital Self Defense series is a hand on workshop on PGP email encryption. We think all email should be encrypted by default and that it should be easy and straight forward. Unfortunately it’s not always. So we’re here to help :).

This workshop will focus on getting Open PGP (GPG) set up with an email client.

Learn how to use PGP encryption to communicate securely with your friends, comrades and organizations!

We will briefly go over the basics of email encryption and then get straight into installation. We’ll be using Thunderbird, Enigmail and GPG, the open source implementation of PGP email encryption.

Bring your laptop loaded with Linux, OS X or Windows and we’ll do our best to see you leave with a working encryption setup! Please download /Install Thunderbird and Enigmail to get a good head start.

Planning Mtg – Philly #NoDAPL Solidarity / Tues 9/6- 7PM

from Facebook

Things are escalating in Standing Rock and we need to unify, act now!…so if you are in Philadelphia region, come join us.

LOCATION: 720 5th Street, #311 – buzz to let you in.
Time: 7PM

GENERAL GOALS:
– Plan Upcoming Actions
– Trip to DC!?
– Review Logistics – Media/PublicRelations/Contacts/Fundraising..etc
– & anything else we may need to check in or table it.

MORE INFO:
The Dakota Access pipeline would transport over 500,000 barrels of oil each day across four states. It would cross the Missouri river twice. One crossing occurs half a mile north of the Standing Rock Reservation, at a location of great cultural significance. Pipeline failure is an eventuality, and the Standing Rock Sioux would be the first hit by the tainted water supply (some 10 million down river would also be affected).

A large grassroots campaign killed the northern leg of the KXL pipeline and we can do it again! While many of us are unable to travel to North Dakota, we can still support their struggle with donations and by organizing solidarity rallies. Solidarity rallies send a clear signal: you are not alone and your message is resonating far and wide.

Eric McDavid at the Wooden Shoe

from Facebook

Eric McDavid is a green anarchist who was entrapped by an FBI informant and charged with a single count of conspiracy to use fire or explosives to damage corporate and government property.

After serving nearly 10 years in prison his judgment and sentencing were vacated when it became known that the FBI had failed to disclose potentially exculpatory evidence to the defense. Eric pleaded guilty to a lesser charge that carried a 5 year maximum sentence. He was released almost immediately.

Come hear Eric tell his story.

Presented by Burning Books. BURNING BOOKS is an artist-run, weirdness-driven organization dedicated to the production and publication of unmuzzled literature, music, and art. It was founded by writer/editor Melody Sumner Carnahan and artist/designer Michael Sumner in Oakland, California, in 1979.

Event is handicap accessible and free, though donations are very appreciated, as Eric is traveling all the way from Northern California with almost no funding.

oaxaca resiste benefit show

from Facebook

There is a huge human rights violation happening right now in Oaxaca, Mexico. They are shooting students and teachers just because they disagree with the new education reform. We are trying to raise money for those in need of medicine, medical bills for the hundreds that have been injured and for the funeral expenses for those that have passed. The government is corrupt and is periodically targeting and killing innocent students and teachers. We need all the help we can get, and we need all of you.

The money raised from these shows will be personally delivered to the people in need by Virus, a member of Massacre 68 (named after the mass killing of students in 1968). Lets stand together and help those suffering from a corrupt, brutal government.

Bands :
old lines. (baltimore)

Benefit Feast for Marius Mason

from Facebook

An all-you-care-to-eat vegan smorgasbord with items from Blackbird Pizzeria, Crust Bakery, Dotties Donuts and Grindcore House for $5-$15 sliding scale. All proceeds benefit long-term anarchist prisoner Marius Mason. More to come, soon…

[June 11 from 5 to 7pm at Grindcore House 1515 South 4th st]


From supportmariusmason.org: Marius Mason is an anarchist, environmental and animal rights activist currently serving nearly 22 years in federal prison for acts of property damage carried out in defense of the planet. After being threatened with a life sentence in 2009 for these acts of sabotage, he pled guilty to arson charges at a Michigan State University lab researching genetically modified organisms for Monsanto, and admitted to 12 other acts of property damage. No one was physically harmed in these actions. At sentencing the judge applied a so-called “terrorism enhancement,” adding almost two years to an already extreme sentence requested by the prosecution. This is the harshest punishment of anyone convicted of environmental sabotage to date…Marius came out to his friends, family and supporters as transgender in 2014. Previously known as “Marie Mason,” he changed his name, uses male pronouns, and embarked on a course to get a medical diagnosis that would allow him to seek gender affirming surgery and hormone therapy.

Keywords for Radicals Book Launch and Discussion

from Facebook

In Keywords (1976), Raymond Williams devised a “vocabulary” of culture and society that reflected the vast social transformations marking the post-war period. Following Williams, we ask: what vocabulary might illuminate the social transformations marking our own contested present? How do these words shape the political imaginary of today’s radical left? Bringing together the insights of dozens of scholars and committed troublemakers, Keywords for Radicals constellates a vocabulary of contested words that shape today’s political landscape.

With a presentation by Clare O’Connor and discussion.
