POSTPONED - Community Defense: Technology and the Crisis

Update: We're postponing today's Logic event. Given what's going on around the country right now, we felt like it was the right thing to do. Solidarity with everyone in the streets and, if you're able to do so, please donate to a bail fund. (Here's a good list: https://twitter.com/bailfundnetwork/status/1266408876838014983) We'll be in touch as soon as we've reschedule the event -- probably aiming for 2-3 weeks from now. Until then, be safe.
