Privacy isn’t abstract for LGBTQ+ people. It’s often the difference between safety and exposure. In a world where our lives are increasingly lived online and subject to surveillance, the ability to control our personal information, relationships, and identities is essential to protecting our freedom and well-being. Right now, a coalition of civil rights groups is working to strengthen privacy protections in the New York State Constitution, and the stakes for LGBTQ+ communities couldn’t be higher. Join a panel of advocates and experts to learn what’s driving this proposed amendment, how it could safeguard LGBTQ+ people across the state, and what it means for the future of our rights. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and be part of the movement to secure stronger protections for all New Yorkers.

Moderating our panel will be Sam Cole of 404 Media. Our expert panel includes: Jared Trujillo, CUNY Law & Equality New York Mandy Salley, Woodhull Freedom Foundation Corinne Worthington, Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP) Lou Rambou, Carbon Arc David Siffert, NYU Law This event is a part of #NYTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.
