Hello fellow library workers! I took the systems & policy crash course in the spring and am looking forward to the programs & training course this fall - and this may be of interest to some of you! _________________________________________________________ Applications for the LFP Crash Course on Programs & Training are now open at https://libraryfreedom.org/crashcourse/. This 10-week free course focuses on privacy for library staff training and public programming in a supportive, collaborative cohort environment. The course will cover topics including how and what to teach in privacy trainings, and important areas of focus like anti-doxxing, digital security for reproductive care, health privacy, police surveillance, understanding artificial intelligence, and more. The LFP Crash Courses are open to library workers at all levels and in all roles, though this course is best for library workers who face the public. After completion, participants are invited to become part of the LFP community, a group of more than 130 library workers from around the country who work together and support each other on privacy initiatives. Some of our recent projects include - working with teens to make anti-surveillance memes, fighting library vendor surveillance of immigrants, building an anti-doxxing toolkit for at-risk library workers, and organizing LFP Camp, a space for our members to work together and connect in person in an outdoor environment. Previous curricula for the Programs and Training Crash Course is here: https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/Main_Page/Crash_Cours... The LFP community and our training courses are unique in the library world, collaborative, and social-justice oriented. FAQ and more information is on the application website: https://libraryfreedom.org/crashcourse/. Additional questions about this course can be directed to alison@libraryfreedom.org. We hope you'll join us. -- Meghan McGowan she | they
