The recent Roe v. Wade ruling has impacted the safety of anyone seeking abortion across the United States. Abortion seekers are facing the highest level of risk of the last 50 years in regard to their health, safety and lives. The increased risk also relates to data surrounding abortion which includes data generated when searching for reputable providers, communicating with loved ones about abortion, booking travel for an abortion and more. For those seeking an abortion, digital privacy and safety is of paramount importance.

Future Ada’s Privacy and Security team has always stood in solidarity with those seeking digital privacy and safety in the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene area. This time is no exception. Future Ada would like to announce our return from hiatus to serve our community’s changing needs. Future Ada will be updating our more popular workshops such as our online safety and online harassment mitigation workshops in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, Future Ada recommends the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Security and Privacy Tips for People Seeking an Abortion: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/06/security-and-privacy-tips-people-seeking-abortion.

We hope you will join us in our effort to provide security and privacy for all.
