The attacks on free and democratic societies continue. Dictatorships are gaining momentum. Dreams and livelyhoods are being destroyed. The effects reach deep into our hacker community.

How did it come to this? Why have we not reacted sufficiently so far?

What solutions can we develop? How can we strengthen our free societies? How can we make them more resilient to disinformation?

How can we empower ourselves and others to act and network more proactively? How can we overcome the feeling of hopelessness? How can each individual contribute to a solution?

From those questions, we don't want to shy away.

Inspire you to act, instead of react! Get out of the defensive!
