I’m so incredibly fortunate. 561 of you have contributed to my GoFundMe and I’ll be feeling and giving thanks for the rest of my life.

My friends and colleagues in the education community have organized an online Teach-In Against Surveillance on December 1st. The proceeds from this pay-what-you-can event will go towards this very fundraiser against Proctorio’s SLAPP.

Learn more about the event, read about the speakers, register, and share: https://againstsurveillance.net/ (recording now available)

Speakers include Maha Bali, Cory Doctorow, Benjamin Doxtdator, Chris Gilliard, sava saheli singh, Jesse Stommel, and Audrey Watters. These people have been deeply influential to my values and beliefs and I hope so much you will be there.

Spread the word about this pay-what-you-can event (students are free) and join the fight #AgainstSurveillance. Surveillance technology is not ed tech. Defund it and invest in what matters.

I would also like to share an article from Sunday’s Washington Post, which is excellently reported and goes in-depth on the harms of academic surveillance software. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/11/12/test-monitoring-student-revolt/
