I'm honored to have been invited to speak at NYU with Michael Ratner on the national security state's war on whistleblowers. Details below. Please come to the talk and spread the word!

National Security Overload: The War on Whistle-blowers, Journalism, and Privacy, and its Implications for Democracy

Where: Meyer Building at NYU (4 Washington Place), Rm 121

When: Wednesday November 6th, 6:45pm

Unprecedented government surveillance. Whistle-blowers prosecuted as spies. Leading American journalists threatened with arrest. The NYU Radical Film and Lecture Series presents two experts on rights and liberties for a discussion about the attacks on journalism, whistle-blowers, and privacy in the US — as well as implications of this offensive for activists and the U.S. population at large. 

Kade Crockford is director of the Technology for Liberty project at the ACLU of Massachusetts, where she edits and writes the Privacy Matters blog.

Michael Ratner is President Emeritus of the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR). He is an attorney for Wikileaks and Julian Assange.
