This document provides guidance on building a hacktivist community while managing risks. It emphasizes starting with lower risk activities like citizen journalism and reporting issues publicly. It stresses the importance of trust, privacy, and security training before taking on higher risks. Members should consider personal risks like location, technical skills, and identities that could make them more vulnerable targets. The goal is to raise awareness and potentially take informed action, not get arrested or endangered. Ongoing education and practice in digital security and privacy are key to operating safely.
