Ada Initiative's work includes running several unconferences for women in open tech & culture over the last three years including AdaCamps in SF, DC, Portland, Berlin, and Bangalore. Hundreds of conferences and events have adopted anti-harassment policies based on their template.

Glad to see you're a champion of sex positivity! Me too! I have a long history of radical sex positive activism. AND am an advisor for AI.
