Join us for the Financial Freedom Track at OFF
On June 5, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) will host the seventh annual Financial Freedom track at the 2024 Oslo Freedom Forum.
Designed to shed light on how authoritarian regimes around the world are deploying financial repression to target dissidents, and to show how citizens worldwide are pushing back with open-source software, the program will feature speakers from more than a dozen countries worldwide ranging from Nigeria to Nicaragua.
The Financial Freedom track will be a great place for activists to meet world experts who can help them strengthen their work with better financial tools that governments cannot stop.
On June 3 and 4, HRF will also run a Bitcoin 101 for Activists workshop series at the Oslo Concert Hall, covering the basics of using Bitcoin as safely and effectively as possible for nonprofit leaders.
