Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Dave Maass and Amos White on Making Good Trouble

As investigations director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Dave Maass researches and writes about surveillance technology, government transparency, press freedoms, the U.S.-Mexico border and immigration enforcement, prisoner rights, and other digital rights issues. He leads the Atlas of Surveillance project in partnership with the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he is a Reynolds Scholar in Residence.

We’ll also speak with environmental activist Amos White, who is an organizer for the Good Trouble Lives On protest. Coined by civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis, “Good Trouble” is the action of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change. The civil rights leaders of the past have shown us the power of collective action. That’s why on July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities across the country will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.

Our Resistance in Residence artist this week is Pearl Ong. Pearl is a playwright and storyteller whose solo show Night Driver debuts this month at the Marsh Theater in San Francisco and runs from July 19 through August 23rd, each Saturday at 5 pm.  Find ticket information here
