EducateUS (not EFF) will host this event. EFF's Rindala Alajaji and Lisa Femia will be speaking.
From the Organizers:
Think attempts to restrict porn won't affect you? If you care about sex ed, we invite you to this event to think again. Mandy Salley, COO of Woodhull Freedom Foundation, Rin Alajaji, Legislative Activist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and Lisa Femia, Staff Attorney at EFF will help you understand why sex education advocates should be concerned about attacks on pornography and "sexual" content both on and offline, and what we can all be doing to fight back. You'll learn how existing and proposed laws targeting pornography can be used to attack sex education, how online censorship limits our access to sexual health information, and more. And you'll leave better prepared to stick up for sex education and sexual freedom, and better prepared to protect your own privacy online as well.
