Performer Bios

Valencia Drive: New York City drag artist Valencia Drive is your commercial-free, hi-NRG mix of the 80’s, 90’s and today, here to serve you fashion, comedy, and cartoonish nonsense. Is she woman? Is she machine? Or is she just a drag queen? These and many more questions will go unanswered during an extra special Global Gathering performance by the most stunning, perfect, and legendary drag icon you’ve never, ever heard of before (IG: @thevalenciadrive)

Alia Haju: Alia Haju is a Brooklyn-based artist, filmmaker and musician. She arrived in New York after fleeing Lebanon for the second time in 2020. Alia played her first instrument at the age of 8 and it's been hard to spot her without one since.

Whether it's guitar, oud, tar, riq, or her inimitable vocals, her talents have propelled her onto stages in Beirut and New York and across genres, from alternative rock to rap and baroque classical music, to leftist Arabic classics, singing about working class struggles and revolutions. She collaborates and performs with musicians from across the Middle East and the US as a singer/musician, and composer. She played on the streets of Beirut and New York during the 2019 Lebanese uprising and BLM and Pride protests in 2020. Alia received a grant from NYFA in 2022 to complete the first music album, Bassara, with her group Taktouka Band. Beyond music, Alia got her bachelor's of fine arts at the American University of Beirut and is now an award-winning filmmaker and worldwide published photographer.

She has been published in worldwide media outlets, and her upcoming anima/doc has received various grants such as AFAC, the Doha film institute, and MFG.

Meetup Descriptions

Meetup Title Type Meetup Description
Advancing SAFETAG as a framework for the next generation of organizational security practitioners Public At this meetup, organizational security practitioners, members of the SAFETAG community, and digital security trainers are invited to convene to discuss concrete actions to advance SAFETAG as a framework for the next generation of organizational security practitioners. Together we will identify opportunities to revive community contributions, discuss priority areas for changes and updates, and look at broader questions about clarifying, sharpening, and developing the framework. During the meetup attendees will also review existing contribution, discussion, and localization mechanisms.
Brainstorming the future of anti-phishing education Public In September 2023, Shira v1.0 was released to the public on https://shira.app. Shira is a web app to help users develop their skills to identify and defeat phishing attacks on email but also on messaging apps like WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook Messenger, etc.||We are now planning the future of Shira: how can we improve Shira to make it as useful as possible to the digital rights community, to digital safety trainers, and to vulnerable communities in general? Join us to shape the future of anti-phishing education. |
Cat lovers’ corner Public We all have cats, aren't we? It's time to share your cat's photo. |
Civic Spaces in the Global Majority Semi-Private This meet-up is a follow-up to previous closed meetings DRF has facilitated with civil society and HRDs from the global majority to share challenges they face in terms of due to state-backed harassment, attacks, surveillance and onerous registration which has made it nearly impossible to work in certain countries and contexts. A preliminary meeting was conducted at RightsCon 2023 with civil society from across the Global Majority and donor organisations to discuss challenges and needs. This follow-up meet-up will seek to include more actors and work towards developing robust strategies for tackling these issues.
CiviCERT Members Meetup Invite-Only CiviCERT is a network of Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), Rapid Response teams, and independent Internet Content and Service Providers who help civil society prevent and address digital security issues. This private session will allow CiviCERT members to meet in person, discuss network issues and develop opportunities for further in-network collaboration.
Cyber FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) meetup Public Come join us in a discussion to debunk cybersecurity / digital security myths and focus on security that is effective and usable. We will talk about simple and trauma-informed security approaches to help reduce security paralysis, nihilism, and circumvention.
Designing and Maintaining Global South Spaces and Collaborations for Holding Platforms Accountable Semi-Private In this session, groups and individuals working in the Global South will discuss how to collaborate together to hold platforms accountable for their human rights harms violations. Key elements of the discussion will include: 1) how do we design participatory and democratic spaces for collaboration and 2) how can we learn from previous experiences and better sustain such spaces. The discussion will feed into the Global South Platform Accountability Collaboration, an ongoing initiative aimed at bringing together groups working in Africa, Latin America, and Asia to hold platforms accountable.
Digital Identity Meetup Public Digital Identity systems are a global issue that affects many countries around the world. Because of the multilateral nature of these systems being deployed often by US and European companies in other world regions, the worldbank pushing for their adoption and the EU being on track to rolling out a fully harmonised system, it's urgent activists coordinate. This session is for sharing experiences with digital identity systems in your country, working towards holding actors accountable and establishing a goal for our community in terms of risk and safeguards.
Digital Infrastructure for a Transfeminist World: How to Set up a Feminist Server with a Domestic Connection Public We believe in technological autonomy, in our ability to build the Internet we want to inhabit. In this meetup, we want to present ""How to set up a feminist server with a domestic connection"", a fanzine that will guide restless feminists in setting up a web server to host their static webpages. https://labekka.red/servidoras-feministas/
Disinfo f*ck up - Open Mic session Public In 2021, my team and I collaborated with a range of national and international media to expose a harmful propagandist responsible for hundreds of arrests in Myanmar. Did he lose sleep over the reporting? Not exactly. He embraced the notoriety and, if anything, only became worse. His goal was to be known and feared and we had just fed right into his KPIs. |Does this sound familiar? Do you have your own stories of disinformation interventions gone wrong? Come swap war stories and talk through the unique ways that efforts to name, shame, debunk, or otherwise undermine disinformation actors can at times backfire.
Equity challenges in the digital rights defenders ecosystem The digital rights defenders ecosystem is facing a number of equity challenges. From disparities in access to resources to discrimination and harassment - the impact isn't uniform; voices go unheard, experiences vary, and representation isn't equal. As we defend the rising number of threats facing our diverse digital landscape, let’s work to make sure that everyone is included in the process of creating inclusive change.
Experience of censored users Public Members of Tor's Anti-Censorship team will be hosting a circle for users to come and share their experience using our circumvention tools so we can learn what is working and how to improve what is not working.
Feminist Tech Play Session: Approaches & Tools in Building Decentralised Community Platforms Semi-Private What have been your experiences in building and hosting platforms for community building and organising? There is a plethora of tools and options, e.g. ActivityPub, Matrix, XMTP, Discourse, Scuttlebutt, good ol' mailing list, but they all come with their in/conveniences and affordances. Come share your experiences, tools, approaches and dreams in building decentralised community platforms!
From Rapid Response to Sustainable Protection: Responding to Digital Threats Through Funding Public The increasingly hostile scenario of digital threats and attacks on human rights defenders makes the existence of rapid response mechanisms and long-term digital security capacity-building core resources for civil society and grassroots organisations. Join us to learn how to access digital protection funds that respond to your needs.
Funders Meetup (note this is for funders only) Public This meetup is a private meeting, only for funders. Lead by folks from Numun Fund and Prospera,its a space for funders to connect and strategize around current problems.
Harassment reporting: Identifying opportunities for more effective collective power"" Semi-Private Reports from PEN America, Internews, and others have recently outlined the difficulties our communities face when we report harassment to social media platforms. In this collaborative workshop, we will work to identify ""pain points"" in the harassment reporting process that we may be able to address collectively. We will go through a broad overview of the PEN and Internews reports. Then we will go through a ""map"" of all stakeholders in the harassment reporting process, starting with the moment someone gets harassed, continuing through helplines and social media reporting channels, and tracing these through to legal cases, technical analyses and reports that our community develops. We will specifically focus on how to work together to identify patterns in attacks, and other aspects that are making reporting difficult. 
||As part of her work as Dan Kaminsky Fellow at HUMAN Security, Gus Andrews has been on a ""listening tour"" of the digital human rights community, recording difficulties in our process of helping those under attack online. |

Keep calm and put it on the blockchain? Decentralized storage tradeoffs for radical archiving Public This session explores issues around decentralization as a solution for the mobile storing of sensitive data. We wish to briefly map the landscape of Web3 storage technologies and then open a discussion around the affordances and threats of various decentralized storage technologies. How might the application of decentralized storage technologies be advantageous or harmful to users and communities working towards human rights defense?

Pilates for Physical, Emotional and Digital Resilience RSVP Only Pilates is a popular practice to strengthen our bodies' core muscles for improved flexibility, full-body coordination and strength.

A trauma-informed approach to Pilates employs a holistic lens and a flexible teaching framework to create space for individual and group healing, address the physical manifestations of trauma, and build physical and emotional resilience. After more than 10 years working to combat online gender-based violence, burned out, and unable to manage the personal impact of work in this fraught field, Jen turned to Pilates to build physical strength, and found a community that helped bolster her physical and emotional well-being. She's thrilled to share this resource with Feira participants as a way of contributing to and building our community, and to add to our shared toolkit for self and community care. The sessions are open to participants of all fitness levels. Exercises will be done standing, and on floor mats, and require a moderate level of mobility. Pilates is not safe for anyone with advanced Osteoporosis, or who has recently (less than 3 months) given birth. If you have any other health issues that might impact your Pilates practice, and you feel comfortable doing so, please inform the organizers/instructor when you sign up. This session is RSVP only due to space limitations: https://digitalrights.formstack.com/forms/pilates_rsvp

Sharing between anti-censorship tools builders Public We would like to invite other people working on building anti-censorship tools for a circle to share and build collaboration.
Sharing lesson on usability research / user needs Public We made big changes at Tor to have the user as the center of everything we do. In 2017 we started to implement usability research as the key director for our decisions on development and organization strategy. We would like to share about what we learned during this process and how it has been beneficial to us.
Sharing of experiences in suing digital companies Semi-Private Over the past few years, we've gathered evidence and organized legal action to try to change some of the more exploitative business models. I'll talk about the PornHub and Glovo (food delivery) cases. ||Some efforts were complex. But they worked. Others have been painful and full of pitfalls. In this meetup, I'd like to share the lessons I've learned. I hope others can use the few legal tools we have to challenge surveillance capitalism.
Sharing technology and insights among censorship tech providers Semi-Private - Discuss how censorship tech providers can better share technology to avoid duplication and remove hurdles to move faster with less effort.|- Present the Outline SDK as a possible approach to the problem of sharing tech. Gather feedback.|- Discuss a standard to report connectivity issues to share insights in a time-sensitive and comprehensive way.|- Hear about what everyone is working on and are excited about.
Silencing voices - Are non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses enforceable? Public Companies around the world are employing tactics that strangle employee voices to force secrecy about bad behavior. But the ability to speak out is essential to the fight to ensure oversight and regulation of tech companies who are mis-using NDAs, created to protect trade secrets, and silencing victims and witnesses of corporate wrongdoing. US federal law - following California's Silence No More Act - has started to chisel away at this problem by excluding workplace harassment from these clauses. ||This is a Call for Collaboration: Whistleblower Aid is working to launch a campaign to educate workers on the actual threat these agreements represent so we can hold these powerful companies accountable to their actions - while keeping workers safe. |
Tech whistleblowers on the front line Semi-Private Stunning disclosures from Tech whistleblowers have led to monumental breakthroughs for researchers, journalists and policy makers. Their bravery continues to drive transparency and accountability for powerful companies whose leadership decisions impact countless lives around the world. We will answer the burning questions about how to become a whistleblower, safely and lawfully, and how tech whistleblowers are changing the state of play, for all of us.||This is a skills sharing meetup for anyone who is interested in:|- the path of a whistleblower (before, during, and after)|- resources and support available|- the impact of tech whistleblowers around the world|
The shutdown game Public Players use their wits and abilities to circumvent internet shutdowns and restore connectivity to affected areas. They build encrypted communication networks, establish mesh networks, and use decentralized technologies to ensure communication channels remain open. Meanwhile, they avoid government surveillance and keep their digital activism covert. |As players immerse themselves in the game, they gain insights into technical infrastructure concepts and circumvention tools. The game and the interaction among participants also educates players about the role of technology in promoting freedom of speech and expression, encouraging them to be vigilant defenders of an open internet in the real world.
Verifiably Portugal: Disinformation Fighting Photo Walk Public Let's get together to discuss and practice using verifiable evidence photo capture apps (ProofMode, Tella, others?) in a fun, safe environment at the Feira.

HUMAN Security Sharing information about digital attacks: Turning pain into collective power Many in our community find it frustrating and difficult to get platforms to act on our reports of online social harms like harassment, election manipulation, disinformation, and hate speech. We also find it challenging to share information about digital attacks like phishing, malware, and account takeovers. This year, through the Dan Kaminsky Fellowship at HUMAN Security, Gus is exploring how the digital human rights community can more effectively share information about attacks, to demonstrate patterns, document abuses, and even stop attackers from harming us.

Do you have: analysis tools or data sharing techniques that are working well for your organization? data about attacks you'd like to compare to others'? questions about how we can make this sharing easier? deep frustration with MISP/platforms/help lines/mailing lists/technology generally (you know Gus likes to complain about usability :D)? ideas about what we could do better? Stop by this booth to chat with Gus and other members of the community about this topic! Get some new ideas about potential tools and approaches, like the ATT&CK and DISARM frameworks, new threat dashboards in development, open source research tools, and research projects whose reports you may not have heard about yet.

JAAKLAC iniciativa Critical Digital Education for All CDE for all is a collaborative multimedia campaign raising and amplifying the perspectives, research and resources from Latin American digital rights organisations.

Why is education important? Which are the gaps and advances in digital education? How can children’s rights support in comprehensive digital agendas? Who can help to amplify overlooked approaches and worldviews on digital education? Digital agendas have privileged an education _with_ digital technologies, relegating decoding its implications to the neutralised views of fields such as science and technology. The CDE campaign showcases the educational and advocacy efforts from Latin America to address this deficit and fosters a global conversation on similar endeavours to materialise change. Let’s Do It Together!

Sursiendo Tecnoafecciones https://sursiendo.org/tecnoafecciones/ En un contexto donde el conocimiento, la reflexión tecnológica y la propia tecnología han sido pensadas y construidas desde marcos racionalistas, occidentales, masculinos y blancos es urgente revincularnos con las tecnologías desde los afectos, los cuidados y los valores que sostienen para crear otros futuros posibles, futuros que sean dignos y tecnodiversos.

Tecnoafecciones es un proyecto que implica repensar la tecnología en clave feminista, descolonial, situada, que nos permita desarrollar y generar pensamiento-acción en torno a nuestra relación con la tecnología a través de una propuesta teórica y el desarrollo de contenidos que presenten las visiones de las comunidades afectadas, junto a propuestas metodológicas de talleres y una campaña digital dirigida a públicos amplios. El proyecto está dirigido a personas que tengan oportunidad de repensar su relación afectiva con las tecnologías: los modos de hacer, los vínculos que habilitan o inhabilitan, los impactos cercanos y lejanos. Buscamos activar nuestra capacidad de creación colectiva, nuestras posibilidades de articularnos políticamente, de rescatar nuestras maneras colectivas de hacer juntas desde la revinculación> y el afecto, nuestra voluntad de reconocernos como comunidad y posibilidad, nuestro compromiso de responsabilizarnos como acción colectiva. Queremos hacer explícita nuestra voluntad de generar impactos deseados y nuestra potencia transformadora de mundos. Nuestra ilusión por construir futuros dignos y justos para todas.
