infosec specialists are needed in the resistance

The world needs tech security specialists to run workshops at public libraries for all ages & abilities to remove spyware, AI, reduce surveillance, understand the issues, & for more advanced, move to Linux, degooglefy, etc.

Libraries will pay good wages for these workshops.
If you have these skills, please consider offering them.

For someone who has a more than casual level of knowledge and experience in these areas , but perhaps not expert level, are there any suitable bodies of curriculae to be recommended which one might use to build such a course for a small town library?

I mean I'm confident I'd be able to whip up a suitable series of overviews for the layperson, but I suspect this may already have been done by someone out there?

@tezoatlipoca @JoBlakely for someone who is not an infosec expert, having several sets of slides available to give a presentation would be most useful.

There are groups that have compiled the resources into articles that people can read, Here are a couple examples

Again, if not already done, someone needs to compile these into presentations.

Thank you! Yes this is helpful, I’ve seen one about a 30 day degoogle of similar program. Something like that too would be great. So people can approach it all in bite size pieces.
People need the actual workshops & tech support for them and be able to make the changes.
