About this Event
The City of Berkeley plans to evict over 100 people on Tuesday, Oct. 13th from the Seabreeze homeless encampment at University and the I-80. There is no plan for the welfare of these citizens, only a desire on behalf of some City Officials to appear “tough on homelessness” during election season. In the middle of a global health crisis and a civil rights uprising, our most vulnerable residents are putting out a plea for solidarity.
This interactive training is meant as an introduction to your constitutional rights as they pertain to the police and strategies for filming and documenting the police. This is also meant to give you tools so you can better advocate for your rights and the rights of others.
The information in this training is meant to empower you and offer you choices when confronted by the police. The way that you choose to interact with the police is a very personal choice, carrying different risks based on your race, gender, class and more.
THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO FILM.
Brought to you by Berkeley Copwatch (founded 1990). For more information on our history as an abolitionist and community-centered, all-volunteer organization, please visit our website.

Hosted by East Bay DSA, DSA San Francisco, and Sunrise Bay Area
Do you want to learn how to plan and implement direct actions?
Do you want to develop direct action strategies in our organization?
Do you want to prepare for the November election results?
Comrades, we learn to organize through many means. Political education to sharpen our analysis, canvassing to practice skillful communication, art builds to creatively spread propaganda. We must also learn strategic direct action.
These past few months, we have seen a national uprising against racist police terror and fascist violence. We need to prepare not only for a continuation but an escalation.
It will take mass working-class action to combat fascism, police brutality and a capitalist class that will not hesitate to swiftly and violently crush any public demonstrations. As socialists, we must create coherent strategies, be equipped with reliable tactics, and confidently lead our own direct actions.
Join us for a two-day training led by Frailty Myths, an organization dedicated to building leadership skills for women, queers, and GNC folks. It is required that you sign up for both days, and strongly encouraged that you lead future training to share acquired skills.
When: Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11, 10 am-12 pm

Hi Everyone @idworkshop is coming up in two weeks…if you really want to be there and you can't afford it please let us know we will help you get there. https://t.co/A8aezXlsPj

You belong at IIW this Fall! You’ll acquire the real-time pulse of genuinely disruptive technologies that are the foundation of today’s important Internet movements.
Every IIW moves topics, code, and projects downfield. Name an identity topic and it’s likely that more substantial discussion and work has been done at IIW than any other conference!
IIW XXXI will be our second online event. While we miss being with everyone in person, we have found that the online event isn’t just an acceptable substitute, but a real workshop in its own right with considerable advantages. Being virtual will allow many more people from around the world to participate in the important discussions that happen at each IIW.
“From my perspective, IIW is the seminal conference for the digital identity space. The feedback & technical insight garnered here is so invaluable for my company that we build our internal product roadmap around the twice-yearly conference. I was admittedly skeptical about the event going fully virtual, but the organizers managed the transition with little to no loss in collaborative nature or connections. I was very pleased with the value and turnout, and am already looking forward to the next one!”
Karyl Fowler | CEO | transmute industries
How It Works
IIW is at its heart a participatory conference, it is an Open Space unConference. It has no keynotes or panels, so it’s about getting stuff done!
Our schedule will be much the same as the online event in April, with some additional session times. The agenda will be created live each day by attendees present at the opening circle (the same as when we meet F2F in Mountain View).
Through dozens of sessions,you’ll have plenty of chances to present your ideas, engage in challenging dialog, and make new professional connections. The Open Space unConference format is perfect for a rapidly moving field where the organizing team cannot what needs to be discussed. We know great people will be at IIW XXXI. The attendees who have a passion for learning and contributing to the event makes it the success it is.
This is the time and place that you get to discuss, share your knowledge, work on and learn about anything & everything related to Internet Identity today. You can find Books of Proceedings for all previous IIW Events here.
Why You Should Participate
This is the time and place that you get to discuss, share your knowledge, work on and learn about anything & everything related to Internet Identity TODAY.

- Use Managed Accesss (UMA)
- Self-Sovereign and Blockchain Based Identity
- Verifiable Credentials and DIDs
- Credential Ecosystems
- Identity Fraud
- OAuth
- OpenID Connect
- Token Binding
- Personal API’s & Domain of One’s Own
- Personal Sovereignty
- International Perspectives
- Biometrics
- Identity Proofing
- Identity Verification for Internet Payments
- Identity and Privacy in Healthcare
- API of the W3C
- Cryptographic Credentials
- Efforts to “Reboot the Web of Trust”
- Multisignal Authentication
- Authentication of US Government Employees
- Authentication in the Enterprise/Extended Enterprise
- Identity in the Context of Mobile Device Managment
- IoT (The Internet of Things)
- VRM (Vendor Relationship Management)
- Data Liberation and Portability
- Earned (rather than coerced) Customer Loyalty ~ CRM
- Privacy in the Age of Surveillance
See the growing list of potential topics put forth by those who have already registered for IIWXXXI.
“IIW XXX completely changed my mind about ‘virtual conferences’. I was quite skeptical that it could be even remotely as effective as the in-person IIW events—of which I’ve never missed a single one. But IIW XXX not only captured most of the same interactions, it actually proved to be MORE INTENSE than the in-person event because there are multiple channels alive at the same time—the Zoom Rooms, the Zoom chat, and then the Garden rooms and side channels that form and keep going throughout the event. Plus being virtual meant many more people around the world could attend. In fact, it was so engaging that I left the event feeling that at least one of every two IIWs should be virtual now.”

Right now the most vulnerable individuals are being exploited on a massive scale and it will only get worse if we don’t take action now. But can we as average citizens really make a difference to help them? The answer is YES. In Direct Action Everywhere’s workshop, you will learn the history of social movements, the ground-breaking new research that shows the power of ordinary people, and the bold plan to nonviolently abolish the most harmful industry on earth that kills billions of animals every year.

In 2018 the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released an alarming report, stating that the world needed to steeply cut its carbon emissions and make radical changes in order to limit the planet’s temperature from rising to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. If that goal wasn’t met, the report predicted a horrifying increase in suffering for almost all life and ecological collapses.
In America, this report was met on the political Left by sustained calls for the abolition of capitalist exploitation of people and the planet. The rationale was that capitalism’s imperative for endless economic growth required massive amounts of energy, the vast majority of which is still produced through fossil fuels. Some of the specific responses were reinvigorated support for anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist struggles by Indigenous peoples, surges in attendance at climate strikes, and great support for proposals like the Green New Deal by elected officials.
East Bay DSA will explore this theme in a Socialist Night School mini-series, co-organized with our Green New Deal Committee. These three events will explore what it means to be an ecosocialist, the Red Deal and Indigenous struggle, and how to fight for a Green New Deal after Bernie.
——
In this final Night School in our mini-series, we’ll attempt to answer a perennial question in our prior sessions: “How do we actually win a Green New Deal, especially after Bernie’s loss?” We’ve dedicated this time to making a space for us to attempt an answer.
Our readings offer an array of ways to understand a Green New Deal and strategies and tactics we might employ, to supplement our own ideas. And we’re joined by Thea Riofrancos, whose experience and expertise has already proved invaluable by way of her books, and who will speak with us about the continuing struggle to win a Green New Deal and our planet.
Thea Riofrancos is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Providence College, a member of DSA Ecosocialist’s working group Steering Committee, and co-author of A Planet to Win and Resource Radicals.
Readings:
Socialism or Barbarism — the fight continues!
“It’s Eco-Socialism or Death”: An Interview With Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson
JUST TRANSITION: A Framework for Change
Embrace Feminist Wisdom for a Green New Deal!
