Alison Macrina talks about how the Library Freedom Project is fighting surveillance and making digital privacy tools mainstream and ubiquitous through the trusted space of the library, followed by a Q/A session. Macrina is a librarian, internet activist, the founder and director of the Library Freedom Project, and a core contributor to The Tor Project.

How can librarians protect our fundamental values of intellectual freedom and privacy in an era when political dissidents, religious minorities, immigrants and other marginalized people's rights are seriously threatened? How can we do this given the monumental powers of state surveillance and Big Data? Library Freedom Project brings together the expertise of librarians, hackers, attorneys and activists to create practical privacy trainings for people at any level of technical ability.
