Recent Notes
Join us at PubKey DC on Tuesday, March 3rd as we host Pathways to Freedom: Political Prisoners, Reintegration, and the Tools That Sustain Liberty
PubKey hosts a conversation at the intersection of freedom, resilience, and technology — examining what happens after political prisoners walk free.
Authoritarian regimes increasingly rely on detention to silence dissent and fracture democratic movements. But imprisonment does not end movements — and release does not end risk.
Former political prisoners often reenter a world where surveillance persists, networks are disrupted, and rebuilding civic life requires new tools, new alliances, and new forms of support.
This discussion brings together former political prisoners and family members to explore the full pathway to freedom: surviving repression, rebuilding agency, and continuing the fight for open societies.
Participants will share firsthand experiences navigating detention and reintegration, including how freedom technologies — secure communications, decentralized networks, and privacy-preserving tools — help activists reconnect, organize, and operate safely in an era of expanding digital control.
The event will open with a live PubKey podcast recording featuring Leopoldo López, Berta Valle, and Anaïse Kanimba.
Core Themes
Freedom Beyond Release
Liberation is a transition, not an endpoint — and rebuilding leadership and movements after imprisonment requires sustained support.
Authoritarian Control in the Digital Age
How regimes use surveillance, isolation, and information control — and how activists adapt and resist.
Freedom Tech in Practice
How secure communication, privacy tools, and decentralized systems help sustain dissent and civic coordination.
Resilient Communities
How global networks, diaspora communities, and civil society transform individual courage into durable democratic movements.
Featured Speakers
Vladimir Kara-Murza — Russian democracy leader, author, and former political prisoner
Leopoldo López — Venezuelan democracy leader and former political prisoner
Evgenia Kara-Murza — Advocate for political prisoners and democracy activist
Anaïse Kanimba — Human rights advocate and daughter of Paul Rusesabagina of Rwanda
Berta Valle — Nicaraguan democracy advocate supporting families of political prisoners
Lilian Tintori — Venezuelan democracy activist and human rights leader
Why this Conversation Matters
More than one million people worldwide are imprisoned for political reasons — a number that continues to grow as authoritarian governments refine methods of repression.
Supporting political prisoners is not only a human rights imperative; it is central to preserving the people, knowledge, and leadership that democratic movements depend on. Understanding how freedom is sustained — socially, politically, and technologically — is essential to building more resilient open societies.
This event is FREE and PUBLIC.

Join us on Wednesday for ₿uilder NYC: AI x Bitcoin on March 11th!
₿uilder is a monthly gathering for people who like to build. Vibecoding has changed who gets to be creators, bringing in designers, PMs, founders, and tinkerers alongside engineers.
As AI accelerates, meeting in person becomes even more important, letting us learn together, compare notes, demo what we’re building, and give feedback. For bitcoin, shipping and sharing in the open makes it easier to see its strengths, spot the gaps, and build toward what’s next
Thanks @Spiral for hosting!

Join us at PubKey NYC next Wednesday, February 25th for Building the Bitcoin Community in the Privacy-First Digital Age with @Obi 🔅 and @dread
Featuring:
Obi Nwosu – Fedi
Dread – Flash
Overview
PubKey hosts an in-depth conversation with two builders operating at the frontlines of Bitcoin adoption and privacy tooling. As digital surveillance expands and centralized platforms consolidate power, Bitcoin’s community must evolve -- not just in size, but in resilience, self-sovereignty, and privacy standards.
This program will explore how we scale grassroots Bitcoin communities while preserving the principles that made the movement powerful in the first place.
Bitcoin adoption without privacy erodes long-term sovereignty. Community growth without principled infrastructure leads to fragility. This event confronts both realities directly -- and equips attendees with clarity and tools to build stronger, more private systems.
Core Themes:
Community Infrastructure: What it takes to build durable, local-first Bitcoin ecosystems.
Privacy as a Foundation: Why privacy is not optional -- and how tools like federated custody and next-gen wallets are raising the bar.
Funding the Builders: The role of mission-aligned capital in advancing open-source development.
Practical Adoption: How everyday users can meaningfully upgrade their privacy posture today.
This event is FREE and PUBLIC.

Join us on Thursday, February 19th for Keeping up with Bitcoin!
Bitcoin has entered a period of heightened volatility. With price drawdowns and shifting mining dynamics playing out across the network, market structure and operator behavior are adjusting in real time.
If the past few weeks at PubKey are any signal... the questions are changing. Less “number go up” more “what actually matters right now?”
The macro backdrop remains anything but stable. Liquidity conditions, policy uncertainty, and shifting market risk tolerance continue to shape financial markets -- influencing everything from institutional positioning to capital flows across digital assets.
Join Blockspace Media cofounder Will Foxley on Thursday, February 19 for a fireside chat breaking down the most relevant signals across markets, mining, and macro.
Not a conversation to be missed. Be sure to come out.

Join us on Wednesday, February 18th for @HRF x PubKey AI That Respects your Privacy w/ @Marks at PubKey NYC
In this fireside chat, CEO of Maple AI Marks will share how artificial intelligence can be used more privately around the world with Maple AI. Maple AI is an end-to-end encrypted AI chat tool that uses open-source models to ensure greater security and privacy when using large language models (like ChatGPT - but privacy-protecting). Together with HRF’s Freedom Tech Grant Lead @Harrison Friedes, this conversation will explore how political dissidents and human rights defenders leverage tools like Maple in their work to resist authoritarian regimes.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how open source AI can support human rights, and participate in a live audience Q&A with the speakers!
As always, this is a FREE and PUBLIC event.
