Digital Security for Activists on the Go

March 19, 2025 • By 18MR
A vibrant digital flyer with bold colors and pixel art promoting a digital security workshop. The top section reads “STAY SAFE!” followed by “DIGITAL SECURITY” in large blocky white text on a bright orange background. Below that, a purple box says, “FOR ACTIVISTS ON THE GO.” The event details are in a light purple box: “Thurs. 03.27.25, 2:30PM – 4:00PM PT. RSVP: bit.ly/securityonthego.” At the bottom, text reads: “Learn to protect your devices, data, and communications when traveling in your community or out of town.” The flyer includes pixelated images of stars, a plane, and background visuals of people and cityscapes in halftone patterns. In the corner is the logo for 18MR, the organization hosting the event.

Whether you’ve driving from your home to the local coffee shop, entering the TSA line at the airport, and heading to a protest, learn tips and tools to protect your digital security while on the go.

This 1.5 hr training will cover best practices to protect your devices, data, and communications when traveling in your community or out of town. Together, we’ll discuss high tech threats and safety planning, and practice exercising our rights in scenarios such as border crossing and other in-person encounters with law enforcement.

This training is for activists, organizers, and anyone who is part of a targeted community and at risk of harassment.

Hosted by 18 Million Rising and Tiny Gigantic with a Know Your Digital Rights guest presentation led by Jake Snow, Senior Staff Attorney at the ACLU of Northern California.
