[Ta3m-Seattle] [seattleprivacy] Technology Enabled Coercive Control (TECC) Volunteer Clinic (fwd)

[Matthew McCoy]

I'd love to help. I am a privacy attorney that works with victims of
cyberstalking and cyberharassment here in Seattle. I've been talking to
stakeholders and doing a lot of what you describe by myself, so I'd love to
join forces :)
