Defend yourself. Defend your data. Defend your movement.

From burner phones to browser hardening, from metadata leaks to mass surveillance, this no-nonsense guide gives you the tools to stay secure in an insecure world.

Whether you’re organizing protests, supporting whistleblowers, researching sensitive topics, or just trying to opt out of corporate spyware, Cybersecurity for Activists walks you through how to protect yourself—and your community. Written in plain language but packed with expert-level detail, this field manual blends wit, rigor, and political awareness. It’s not just about hiding; it’s about surviving and resisting in the digital age.
