KB is out this week, but Kelly Wise interviewed Judson and Adrienne, co-founders of the GUARD PAC. This is very much in its infancy, but the PAC will be supporting politicians who are advocating for changes in the data safety, ultimately giving people power over how their data is collected, stored, transferred, sold, etc. Fascinating interview!
