S.T.O.P. empowers, informs, and amplifies the voices of over-surveilled communities through educational programming. Past sessions have been delivered in partnership with leading universities, community-based organizations, informal activist collectives, and Fortune 500 companies. No audience is too big or small, and we never charge for programs for activists, grassroots organizations, and nonprofits.
The key to effective training sessions is to speak to the issues that matter most to you and your members, so we are always happy to create custom curricula.
