Hi everyone, I'm writing to remind you that the International Day Against DRM is on Sunday, July 9th and offer to support you in organizing events for it in your communities.
You're receiving this email because you've organized an event in the past or expressed interest in doing so. Sorry about the BCC -- I'm doing my best to follow up with each of you individually as well. With an international coalition of community and civil society groups calling for the abolishment of DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), the Day is the biggest recurring action asserting the universal right to digital freedom. More info: DayAgainstDRM.org Event planners make the Day what it is! Only you have creativity and knowledge to connect this digital rights struggle to your own community, and make a space to envision a more free, just world. Event planning guide: https://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm#planning The event planning guide includes previous years' events for inspiration, including 8-bit music parties, podcast episodes and blog posts, protests outside companies that profit from DRM, flyering sessions, and potlucks, to name a few. I also provide event planners with promotion through our geographically-sorted email list, digital promotional materials, and anything else you need. ///// Want help planning an event? If you want to plan an event but need help from others in your area, send an email to the global [email protected] with a subject like "Seeking someone in [LOCATION] to co-organize for Day Against DRM". ///// List your event on the LibrePlanet wiki Once events are added to the list on LibrePlanet people will start seeing them and getting in touch with organizers to confirm their attendance or offer help.
