The Background: We're at RightsCon!

RightsCon is an international tech and human rights conference,

Members of the Pursuance team have been invited to speak at not one,
but two sessions!  Technical lead and project manager Steve Phillips

learned from past activism, plus their visions for 21st century
activism.  The other panelists include Naomi Colvin (Courage
Foundation), Birgitta Jónsdóttir (poetician, spokesperson for the
International Modern Media Institute (IMMI), and prominent member of
the Pirate Party in Iceland), Jesselyn Radack (whistleblower, attorney
representing many whistleblowers, and heads the Whistleblower and
