Nowadays, the world is just one click away, but there’s so much going on in your backyard! Come on by this Cypurr Session, where we’ll talk about some local cybersecurity issues in the five boroughs. From Brooklyn tenants subjected to facial recognition, to Amazon workers in Staten Island, we’re looking at issues where New Yorkers need to work together.

We have some great speakers to lined up to discuss their work, including Matt Mitchell (CryptoParty Harlem among many other kewl things) and Sarah Aoun ( Mozilla Open Web Fellow and cybersecurity trainer). Cant wait to see y'all there!

Per usual we will also be answering your questions as well discussing harm reducing tech alternatives!

The CyPurr Collective is a group of some tech-minded folks who are very jazzed about cybersecurity, cats, and helping folks out with their digital dilemmas. We offer workshops for activists, journalists, educators, and everyday folks who want to up their encryption game!

Privacy is the space in which ideas are developed, to retreat into whenever you want. This space is not only physical but digital as well. Governments and companies don't want to respect that so we become active ourselves.

CryptoParties are free and open for everyone, but especially ​those without prior knowledge, who haven't yet attended one.

CryptoParty is a decentralized movement with events happening all over the world. The goal is to pass on knowledge about protecting yourself in the digital space. This can include encrypted communication, preventing being tracked while browsing the web and general security advice for computers and smartphones.

To try the programs and apps at the CryptoParty bring your laptop or smartphone.
