Party for press freedom & Reality Winner ~ Sun. Dec. 17, San Francisco
Sunday, December 12 | 6pm meetup, 8pm-midnight music
This Sunday (12/17), Peter Ecklesurname and Rainey Reitman are hosting an event in San Francisco to support two vital organizations working to advance press freedom: Freedom of the Press Foundation and the Reality Winner defense fund (hosted by Courage to Resist).
This year has seen unprecedented attacks against press freedom, and both of these organization are doing unique, powerful work to fight back. FPF is helping to defend press freedom by promoting and maintaining SecureDrop and hosting digital security trainings specifically for journalists. The Reality Winner defense fund, hosted by Courage to Resist, is advocating for imprisoned whistleblower Reality Leigh Winner, the first whistleblower prosecuted under the Espionage Act under the Trump administration. Her legal case is taking on the constitutionality of the Espionage Act as used against whistleblowers, and may become one of the most important press freedom cases in our lifetime.
Peter and the crew at the Spaceship House are opening their home to us this Sunday. Please come at 6 PM if you'd like to write a card to Reality or Snowden and enjoy a quiet cocktail, or come after 8 PM for music. Shahid and Tim Jones will be DJing till midnight.
When: Sunday, December 12 | 6pm meetup, 8pm-midnight music
Address: 23 Prospect Ave San Francisco CA 94109

Rainey is buying the alcohol so that 100% of the funds collected can go to the two worthy nonprofits. So please come, hang out with friends, drink some mulled wine by a fire, and help us support these two very worthy causes. We're asking for a sliding scale donation of $25-$100, and all money will be split between the two nonprofits.
