<h1>Skills for the Peace Activist: Hands-on, how-to workshops at the Digital Media Conference this weekend</h1>
<div>Join fellow peace activists, social justice organizers this weekend to develop your skills and increase our movement's effectiveness. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The <strong>Digital Media Conference</strong> has introductory workshops on using Twitter, making videos, using radio, and working with free software -- all aimed at beginners but taught by some of the most skilled activists and artists produced by the #Occupy Movement and the peace movement. See the conference workshop list here: <a href="http://digitalmediaconference.org/2013/workshops-overview" target="_blank">http://digitalmediaconference.org/2013/workshops-overview</a>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>At the same time, the conference also speaks to the big issues of war and peace in a Digital Age while also connecting Mass Surveillance, Mass Incarceration, and Mass Deportations. Social justice and social change agendas come together at the conference: see the conference plenary sessions here: <a href="http://digitalmediaconference.org/2013/conferencewide" target="_blank">http://digitalmediaconference.org/2013/conferencewide</a>

<div><u><b>Freedom and Unfreedom in the Digital Age: 3rd Digital Media Conference to Address NSA Scandal, Civil Liberties, and Mass Incarceration </b></u></div>
<p>On <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_528553921" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">October 25-27, 2013</span></span>, the 3rd Digital Media Conference will take place at Lesley University's Doble Campus (<a href="http://goo.gl/maps/pqDQr" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/maps/pqDQr</a>) on Mellen St. in Cambridge. </p>
<p>The conference's theme is Freedom and Unfreedom in the Digital Age. Plenaries and workshops will address the grave threat posed to American democracy by the ongoing NSA scandal, and relate it to threats and opportunities posed to civil liberties by the swift growth of digital media and technology in the service of the national security state. </p>
<p><img src="http://digitalmediaconference.org/2013/sites/default/files/poster_dmc_2013_snowden.png" width="350" height="226" hspace="10" align="right" alt="">Additional connections will be made between the struggle to expand civil liberties nationwide and the campaigns by communities of color and immigrants to resist constant surveillance and mass incarceration by increasingly militarized police, ICE, the DEA, state and federal prison systems, and the private prison and security industries. There will also be basic workshops on social media, digital storytelling and privacy software. </p>
<p>Confirmed speakers include: Ibrahim Abdul-Matin, author and media personality (NYC), Kade Crockford of ACLU Massachusetts, Gregg Housh of Anonymous, Betty Yu of the Center for Media Justice (NYC), Rajesh Kasturirangan of MIT, Subrata Ghoshroy of MIT, Libby Reinish of the Free Software Foundation, Robin Jacks of Occupy Boston, Alfredo Lopez of May First/People Link (NYC), Chris Faraone of the Weekly Dig, and Deb Nicholson of MediaGoblin.</p>
<p>Tickets are $35 ($10 students and low-income). </p>
