	** Andrea Romig is organizing a support rally for the March for Real News in DC and wants to have time to speak/promote it at PirateCon. She is also busy relaunching her podcast (from our basement), so she may have not have submitted yet. I am trying to assist her, and sending you this is one of the ways how. Also, if there will be a panel about independent media/fake news, Andrea has been both in mainstream and independent media. She is also involved with Science for the People.		** Andrea Romig is organizing a support rally for the March for Real News in DC and wants to have time to speak/promote it at PirateCon.

	** Fact Checking Real News vs. Fake News Using the CRAAP Method In separating fact from fiction in the news, and in the interest of protecting journalists in dangerous times, we will be joined by tech activist Kendra Moyer to discuss the traditionally accepted methods of fact checking using the CRAAP library system of web research citation. CRAAP provides excellent fact checking for researchers, journalists, activists and truth seekers. This workshop will dispel myths around facts vs. reality with proven and tested methods for evaluating research sources. We will explore the CRAAP method of testing sources, particularly those found on the web, to assure truth and accuracy in research and reporting. CRAAP assures Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose in verifying sources. We will also share free software digital tools that support journalists and researchers using and basic PGP encryption, including FSF's Email Self Defense and EFF's Surveillance Self Defense, the Guardian Project, and Secure Drop for protecting vulnerable sources. Kendra Moyer is a MA in Communications and Laboratory Associate at Henry Ford College, she is currently pursuing an MS in Library & Information Science		** Fact Checking Real News vs. Fake News Using the CRAAP Method In separating fact from fiction in the news, and in the interest of protecting journalists in dangerous times, we will be joined by tech activist Kendra Moyer to discuss the traditionally accepted methods of fact checking using the CRAAP library system of web research citation.

	** The project I lead, badmirror.tv It is a personalized video broadcasting system that connects viewers with their local and global communities. I feel that it is a useful tool for local politics and will likely interest your audience. The new version of the website will be released by beginning of April. I gave a speech at d10e around decentralizing culture in February 2017. I will discuss similar topics such as how broadcast media impacts our culture and how social media amplifies the top-down cultural narratives that our counter to local autonomy.		** The project I lead, badmirror.tv It is a personalized video broadcasting system that connects viewers with their local and global communities.

	** How storytelling and narrative can help raise awareness to issues around privacy, transparency, and overall civil rights in a digital age. For so many people, ideas about copyright and surveillance and corporate welfare just seem too abstract and distant for them to care. Grounding those issues in empathic storytelling, however, can change that. People like to think that they care about facts and logic, but they really respond best to emotions and humanity — and activists can learn to use that to their advantage. I spent 2 years as a staff writer at Upworthy (post-click-bait, don't worry), where we used data analytics to explore the best ways to tell stories in ways that would actually resonate with our audience — things we thought that they should know about, but that, for whatever reason, they weren't otherwise clicking on. This is also what I do in my work as a playwright and fiction author (I studied fiction with Cory Doctorow, who certainly helped set me on this path). Even when I'm literally making things up, it's still essentially a means of tricking people into learning, discovering, or thinking about something differently.		** How storytelling and narrative can help raise awareness to issues around privacy, transparency, and overall civil rights in a digital age.

	** Thaw America recently attempted to appeal a decision from the secret FISA Court of Review to the US Supreme Court. The decision we appealed allowed the recording - without a warrant - of entire calls, so long as the recorded information is not used in court. We will talk about the technical and legal faults in the government's case, what barriers we've run into, and what we're going to do next.		** Thaw America recently attempted to appeal a decision from the secret FISA Court of Review to the US Supreme Court.

	** Breakout groups to develop sections of the Pirate Policy, or perhaps for action plans during the next year. The general idea is to have a set of small groups, each group gets a marker and a few sheets of large paper. They brainstorm, write things down, and report back. Then, we take those ideas and build on them. We would have to come up with topics for the groups to work with.		** Breakout groups to develop sections of the Pirate Policy, or perhaps for action plans during the next year.
