GMs are text-based chats, and provide digital rights defenders with space to share their work, personal, or regional updates, as well as ask questions; secure support or resources; share their expertise; and grow their human network! From time to time, we invite a featured guest who shares their expertise, and participants can ask questions to directly. Once a month, we also host a more social GM called The Social Networking Glitter Meetup where you can connect with others in a more organic, social way.
