UPDATE: On May 14th we will be launching the SCRUB zine, aimed at helping you (and us) take easy steps for cyber security! Come at 6pm to grab a copy.

It’s time we break up with billionaires as best we can. It’s an abusive relationship: we give more than we receive in return, and it leaves us vulnerable to all sorts of attacks. Let’s cut those strings, and tie ourselves to each other instead by making new networks of support.

We’re gathering to support each other logging out, cancelling subscriptions, deleting accounts, and tapping into free and non-exploitative resources. We’ll gas each other up, share info, and celebrate being so much better off without them in all the ways we can help it. If you're not sure whether/how you can make these adjustments, bring those questions with you! This will be a collective brainstorm and we'll keep it as judgement-free as possible.

Example breakups include: leaving Google platforms, archiving social media accounts, unsubscribing from Amazon, getting a new password manager, installing VPN, cancelling Netflix…

Where: at Thrift 2 Fight, 48 Broadway in Tivoli NY

Bring: Your laptop, your projects, your questions
