*** Celebrating Digital Society of Africa  ***

Digital Society of Zimbabwe was one of the first collectives of digital
security trainers in the Internet Freedom space. It was established in
2015, with Tawanda Mugari and Natasha Msonza behind the wheel! They have
recently rebranded to the Digital Society of Africa, to reflect the
digital resilience work they have been doing with human rights defenders
across the African region. Join their CKS workshop listed above, or
visit their website to see the  amazing work they are doing:

We also  encourage you to check out the beautiful song Tawanda created
for the entire Internet Freedom community:

*** International Coalition Asking for Whistleblowers to Be Protected
during COVID-19 ***

A coalition of more than fifty civil society groups and leaders across
more than twenty-five countries have published an open letter  calling
on all public authorities and institutions to protect whistleblowers -
those who report/expose harms, abuses and serious wrongdoing  - during
COVID-19 and beyond.
