<a href="http://www.mayfirst.org">May
First/People Link</a> director
and confirmed Digital Media
Conference plenary speaker <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfredo_Lopez">Alfredo
Lopez</a> surveys the most
recent revelations about the
National Security Agency (NSA) and
comes to the sad but uncontestable
conclusion that, "[NSA's programs]
rip the locked doors off all
Internet privacy and make the
application of Constitutional
rights impossible." Alfredo who
will be a plenary speaker at our
conference, illustrates this by
looking at how the NSA has
undermined the (no-longer-so) <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer">Secure Sockets
Layer</a> (or SSL) protocol. It
is something that we all depend on
when we log into our Gmail or
Outlook.com email services, or
when we connect to our banks, or
buy tickets online [notice how the
"http" in our browsers' address
bars switch to "https" when we
have a "secure" connection]. By
building "backdoors" into
encryption protocols, the NSA not
only lets itself in and allows its
various sub-contractors and their
temp employees in, but also leaves
the door open for other big
entities with sufficient
resources, governments, big
corporations, and organized crime.
We look forward to exploring this
further at the conference with
Alfredo.</p>

<h3>Reminds Us that Mass
Incarceration, the Surveillance
State, & Militarism are Part
of the Same Story</h3>
<p>A recent FB post by renowned
activist-writer-lawyer, Michelle
Alexander (<a
href="http://newjimcrow.com/">The
New Jim Crow</a>), aligns
completely with our conference's
objectives. She reminds us that it
is no longer possible to adopt the
"staying in my lane" mentality.<br>
