The latest news from Courage Foundation
This year’s Logan Symposium has just concluded in Berlin, bringing together journalists, technologists and others. During the conference, the Courage Foundation hosted a workshop on how best to connect the communities attending the Logan Symposium around solidarity for individual truthtellers as well as some of the broader issues we’ve faced in our two years as an organisation.
The Courage Foundation is excited to join journalists, lawyers, activists and surveillance experts at this year’s Logan CIJ Symposium, 11-12 March at the BCC in Berlin. The 2016 conference is titled Challenge power! Building alliances against Secrecy, Surveillance & Censorship.
Thanks to Wau Holland, supporters across Europe can now make tax-deductible donations to Barrett Brown and Lauri Love’s defence funds, just as they can with Jeremy Hammond’s and Edward Snowden’s funds.
In addition to legal bills, Barrett’s account needs funds to pay his monthly restitution payments, ordered as part of his sentencing, as well as fund his commissary allowing him to purchase items in prison. Lauri Love needs your urgent help to fund his legal defence team as he fights extradition to the United States. Lauri’s extradition hearing has now finally been scheduled for 28-29 June.
You can always donate to the Courage Foundation generally, allowing us to do more for more truthtellers, now and in the future, here.
Wau Holland is a nonprofit based in Hamburg, Germany, created in honour of Wau Holland, co-founder of the Chaos Computer Club. See all of their projects here.
Courage is proud to join the global coalition launched by Access Now calling on governments across the world not to compromise their citizens’ access to secure communications and end-to-end encryption.
