- Jenny also did some research re: what we can do - sent an email to the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights requesting a training on human rights documentation as a community organizing strategy (http://www.nnirr.org/%7Ennirrorg/drupal/racialprofiling ). Also looking into MARTUS (https://www.martus.org ), a free and open source, end-to-end encrypted database for documenting human rights abuses on a distributed secure global network; talking with sudomesh folks about deploying it on the mesh.
