Digital Privacy Bootcamp

Digital Privacy Bootcamp — Jeff Peterson, who made his millions pioneering social media and other tech, has let us know that the Covenant Baptist Church in Spartanburg, S.C. is sponsoring a “Digital Privacy Bootcamp” from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., April 29.

The agenda includes teaching how Big Tech uses phones and computers to spy on citizens; how to remove Big Tech from these devices; hands on training with free and open source software (FOSS); and alternative communications systems — including ham radio — with local operators.

Granted Spartanburg might be a tad far form most of our readers but there are a lot of churches in the Philadelphia area that might be interesting in holding a similar event.

For information about the happening in Spartanburg visit www.Mark37.com/events.

Check out Jeff’s telegram channel and his chat telegram channel for tips on how to free yourself from Big Tech.

Media Dem Incumbents Face Challenge From Environmental Activists

Media Dem Incumbents Face Challenge From Environmental Activists

By Bob Small

It’s very rare that I find myself writing about one of my old “protest buddies,” and as one of them is now running for public office, I had to seize this opportunity.

In the Borough of Media, three of the incumbent Borough Council members are running again. 

I find it curious that the candidates are not listed in any of the following three web sites.

However, the current Borough Council members are listed at this web site: 

Borough Council | Media Borough, PA,

The New Vision Democrats are running three candidates: Dell Jackson, Jen Malkoun, and Terry Rumsey. See their ten-point platform here:  

Dell Jackson is a Penn State graduate working in property maintenance.

“The candidates who are eligible for re-election have a combined 55 years of service on Borough Council,” he says.

Jen Malkoun is the Delaware County Director of Programs and Partnerships with Greener Partners.

A graduate of Goucher College, Jen recently joined the Blooming Glen Farm crew as assistant farm manager.

“When we lack diversity — whether in the natural world, or in the lived experiences of our community members — it is to our own disadvantage,” she said.

Terry Rumsey is the founder and president of Green Seeds.

Terry and his wife, Robin Lasersohn, have been proponents for “green space” activism in Media, and are founding members of Friends of Glen Providence Park and Keep Media Green.

“Today the slogan ‘Everybody’s Hometown’ feels superficial to me. I am tired of watching developers cut down trees in our urban forest to build McMansions for the wealthy,”Terry said. “I am tired of watching predatory real estate speculators ‘flip’ houses once lived in by working- and middle-class families to reap stunning profits.”

Back in the 1980’s, Terry and I worked against US intervention in Central America as part of Delco Pledge of Resistance.

Our activism included civil disobedience at the Upland Peace Camp.

Terry was also the co-owner of the late lamented Jumping Cow Coffeehouse at the Swarthmore train station, As poetry director of the coffeehouse, I scheduled anti-Apartheid activist and poet Dennis Brutus, among others. We worked together well then.
