Dave Maass, EFF Director of Investigations
As investigations director, Dave researches surveillance technology in policing and at the U.S.-Mexico border. He leads the Atlas of Surveillance project in partnership with the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he is a Reynolds Scholar in Residence. Dave is a life-long muckraker/noisemaker who joined EFF in 2013, just before the Snowden revelations. In addition to leading deep-dive investigations, Dave coordinates large-scale public records campaigns, advocates on state legislation, and compiles The Foilies, EFF's annual tongue-in-cheek awards for outrageous responses to FOIA requests. He sometimes represents EFF in digital rights-themed cosplay at Dragon Con, and he edited EFF's first science fiction collection, Pwning Tomorrow. He also researches virtual reality as part of the team that developed Spot the Surveillance, EFF's first VR experience and a winner of the 2018 Journalism 360 Challenge.

About Indigenous Women Rising:

Indigenous Women Rising creates the space for indigenous people to tell their own stories on their terms as an act of resistance, self love, and love for our ancestors and family. They reclaim what colonialism and white supremacy have tried to strip from them: idenity, culture, tradition, and language.
