Simple. Proven. Bipartisan.
Because everyone deserves privacy.
THE PRIVACY CRISIS IS SCARING THE HELL
#PRIVACY4ALL
OUT OF IDH STUDENTS AND ALLIES ON BOTH SIDES OF RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL, AND DIGITAL DIVIDE.
But we have the groundwork (and story) to get the left and right to agree on medical privacy.
The IDH has laid the groundwork for a unique
coalition of religious conservatives and liberals
to fight against medical surveillance.
Learn more -- and how to join the fight -- below.
“How Do We Reoccupy Shared Reality?"
Next Generation Politics
May 4, 2023
w/ Richard Leyva and Phillip Graham
SPEAKING EVENTS
SCHOOLS / COMPANIES / COMMUNITIES
Our Black Mirror meets Dead Poet's Society
story is pretty bananas.
But we know how to teach your teams to put their differences aside (and work across the digital and political divide) to heal our country and re-build reality.
THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS, CLIENTS, VOLUNTEERS, AND ALLIES
WHY OUR PRIVACY SOLUTIONS WORK
We are in a reality crisis. And in a disinformation war designed to divide us.
The only way to survive is to get everyone talking again.
One simple method for disinformation and misinformation.
Also works for conflict resolution and cross-cultural conversations/coalition building.
Scaleable, programmable, teachable to anyone.
Compatible with all the IDH's AI ethics, privacy, and free speech frameworks and curriculum.
For schools, companies, programmers, governments, and advocates
Consulting
Workshops and Trainings
Speaking Events
Curriculum and Platforms
Plug and play civic disinformation fighting networks
Catalyzing and curating allegedly impossible cross-cultural conversations.
JOIN THE FIGHT
This is the make or break moment for our country
and our shared reality.
We have a proven gameplan.
And this is not our first rodeo.
Help the IDH scale up today.
The IDH is expert led, but student
and citizen powered.
We are always looking for people to lend their talents or time to the fight for a just, free, and sane
post-digital world.
