Help DisInfoSec raise funds for disability rights
Donation protected
So the COVID19 pandemic has killed conventional cybersecurity conferences and events which meet offline. That’s okay, we can have cybersecurity events online! Inspired by BeerConOne and Lesley Carhart’s PancakesCon, cybersecurity blogger Kim Crawley has decided to start an online cybersecurity conference of her own. But this time, the spotlight will be on disabled people with infosec knowledge.
Do you identify as disabled and have cybersecurity knowledge you’d like to share? DisInfoSec would love to feature you as a speaker! Cybersecurity nerds presenting at DisInfoSec may have any level of experience in their careers, and may be from every infosec specialty, from redteamers to network admins, from SOC analysts to CISOs, from malware researchers to desktop support, from students to teachers, from web application developers to the recently made unemployed.
Saturday, July 11th, 2020
DisInfoSec takes place on Saturday, July 11th, 2020. It will be hosted via Zoom and broadcasted via Twitch. All people are welcome to attend, whether or not you’re disabled.

Funds raised will go to organizations that were founded by disabled people, for disabled people.
They include the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network, and the Council of Canadians with Disabilities.
About the Autistic Self Advocacy Network:
"The Autistic Self Advocacy Network seeks to advance the principles of the disability rights movement with regard to autism. ASAN believes that the goal of autism advocacy should be a world in which autistic people enjoy equal access, rights, and opportunities. We work to empower autistic people across the world to take control of our own lives and the future of our common community, and seek to organize the autistic community to ensure our voices are heard in the national conversation about us. Nothing About Us, Without Us!”
About the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network:
“The mission of Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network (AWN) is to provide community, support, and resources for Autistic women, girls, nonbinary people, and all others of marginalized genders.
AWN Network is dedicated to building a supportive community where we can share our experiences in an understanding, diverse and inclusive environment. AWN is committed to recognizing and celebrating diversity and the many intersectional experiences in our community.
We welcome all women, transgender and cisgender, non-binary and genderqueer people, Two-Spirit people, people who have at anytime identified as women or girls, and all other people of marginalized genders or of no gender. AWN recognizes and affirms all people’s gender identities and expressions, as well as choices about disclosure, transition, and going stealth.
Our goal is to dispel stereotypes and misinformation which perpetuate unnecessary fears surrounding an autism diagnosis. We seek to share information which works to build acceptance and understanding of disability. Welcome to AWN Network!”
About the Council of Canadians with Disabilities:
“The Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD) is a social justice organization of people with all disabilities that champions the voices of people with disabilities, advocating an inclusive and accessible Canada, where people with disabilities have full realization of their human rights, as described in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.”
Some funds will go toward paying disabled event workers and making the event accessible to the Deaf and hard of hearing.
