Notes

One participant shares their recent work on this wiki on Security Resources for HRDs, and they want to build out the section on dealing with online harassment https://wiki.digitalrights.community/index.php?title=How_to_deal_with_online_harassment_and_threats

...based on some great info they received via LevelUp (community of digital security trainers).

All the content and visuals right now come from the Totem course on this topic. It was the best content they had found when they put this together a little while ago

Here is the totem course: https://learn.totem-project.org/courses/course-v1:IWMF+IWMF_OH_EN+001/about

Are there recent stuff on dealing with harassment?

The value of creating a plan for how to address harassment in advance as well as supporting the people implementing the plan.
