I serve as the Vice President of EFF-Austin,  a Texas nonprofit. EFFA has a storied history closely tied to the genesis of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Both organizations launched at roughly the same time, and out of the same event – a government entity misunderstood technology and the people behind the technology, and the following legal battle almost bankrupted the company that was targeted. A group of technology nerds came together in Austin to defend Steve Jackson games, and the movement was born. You can read more about the beginning and go down the Wikipedia rabbit hole here.

On Monday of this week (12/10/2018), I presented our legislative agenda at one of our monthly meetups. You can watch the video here to learn how you can get involved. Slides below the player.
