https://infosec.exchange/@pixelnull/113454093869108122 pixelnull@infosec.exchange - if you're in infosec and haven't gotten a hold of any neighborhood-level or city-level non-profit orgs to try to get their IT and infosec infrastructures in order as a volunteer or maybe the library to have free courses people can take to learn how to protect themselves online.
*why the fuck not?*
make a plan now, it will take you 10 minutes. look for orgs that don't look like they have a lot of money. prioritize them. find out which org you want to help, get their number, and put it in your calendar for monday to call. if they don't need your help, ask them if they know of another place you can help. they probably know.
allow the fear and dread you have now to motivate you to actually act and make a promise you need to keep to another.
PARTICULARLY IF YOU ARE A WOMAN IN INFOSEC, FOCUS ON REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS GROUPS AND AT RISK WOMEN'S SHELTERS, THEY WILL ONLY TYPICALLY DEAL WITH CIS WOMEN
also DO NOT chicken out just post some tutorials on your fucking feed or in some discord server nobody will see. that don't count. GO OUT INTO THE WORLD AND HELP HUMANS.
for example, i volunteer at a inner city non-profit that does after school programs for at risk youth. i teach basic compsci there, and mentor a few kids that want to go into infosec.
in infosec we are all EXTREMELY privileged...
FUCKING USE IT.
don't be a fucking poser leftist... this is where the fucking fist meets the Nazi's face
(and i swear to god, if you try to charge anybody, i will find you with my bike lock you fucking pig)
