Sparking change: What free software can learn from successful social movements
LibrePlanet 2019

While proprietary software remains one of the biggest threats to personal liberty, democracy, and a free future, one simple reality remains: no one takes us seriously. What can free software advocates learn from the successful social movements and revolutions of the past, and how can we apply it to a technological revolution? An experienced grassroots organizer and software developer guided by the principles of Kingian nonviolence will show you what it takes to mobilize communities and generate a social crisis that can no longer be ignored. No technical knowledge required!

Speakers: Mary Kate Fain
