[Drm-elimination-crew] Your community wants YOU to lead an event for Day Against DRM

[Zak Rogoff]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing to remind you that the International Day Against DRM is on
Sunday, July 9th and offer to support you in organizing events for it in
your communities.

With an international coalition of community and civil society groups
calling for the abolishment of DRM (Digital Restrictions Management),
the Day is the biggest recurring action asserting the universal right to
digital freedom.

More info: DayAgainstDRM.org

Event planners make the Day what it is! Only you have creativity and
knowledge to connect this digital rights struggle to your own community,
and make a space to envision a more free, just world.

Event planning guide:
https://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm#planning

The event planning guide includes previous years' events for
inspiration, including 8-bit music parties,  podcast episodes and blog
posts, protests outside companies that profit from DRM, flyering
sessions, and potlucks, to name a few. I also provide event planners
with promotion through our geographically-sorted email list, digital
protional materials, and anything else you need.
