Want to find out about rad events in Eugene and Springfield? Not on social media? The Leftist Mass Announcement Signal group is a big signal group to announce rad leftist things going on in town!

Announcements Only – Only for public events and public “calls to action” (rapid response, urgent fundraising, phone zaps, etc).
Low Traffic – There are 1-2 admins for each leftist group involved. Only admins can post so there are no discussions and low traffic.

What is Signal?

Signal is a secure end-to-end encrypted messaging tool. Install by searching for “Signal” in Google Play or the Apple App Store. More info about signal: signal.org

Security/ privacy steps to take before you join:

1. Hide your Signal phone number – Go to Settings -> Privacy -> Phone Number.  More details
2. Change your Signal display name to not be your full legal name – Instructions (If you’ve already joined with your full legal nam: leave the group, change your name, and then rejoin. That way the name change isn’t recorded.)

Security/ privacy after you join:

1. Don’t message people you don’t know in the group without a good reason.
2. You may receive messages from spam accounts. They would be very generic messages like “Hi how are you doing?” from people you don’t know. Report/Block them and let one of the Leftist Announce admins know so we can remove them from the group.
3. Don’t scan QR codes without reason and watch what they do carefully before confirming. Check your Linked devices regularly.
4. In general, practice Security Culture
