Signal can help you organize a group
I have been amazed at the stories about neighbors helping neighbors in Minneapolis and in other towns and cities. Nothing can replace the courage and kindness of the people who have risen to the occasion to help others. And one tool they use to organize their neighbors and friends is Signal.
You might think of Signal as a messaging app. It is that, but it is so much more. In addition to messages, Signal supports private video meetings, phone calls and file distribution. And it supports Groups! Signal groups provides an online meeting place for a community and it supports the security and privacy that Signal is famous for.
Once you know how Signal groups work, it becomes second nature as an organizing platform. The biggest challenge? The initial work of learning how to set up and organize Signal Groups can be a challenge. And that’s the focus of today’s announcement:
A new guide is now available to help you organize your work to create and manage a Signal Group. You can get it for free here:
https://mypersonalprivacy.net/pdf_files/how-to-create-and-manage-signal-groups/
The guide includes practical suggestions on how to organize your work that include creating different Signal groups for your organization, designing a code of conduct, vetting and on-boarding new members, and managing the group. There are also step-by-step instructions on creating and configuring Signal Groups. This guide should be helpful for anyone who is new to Signal Groups and wants to organize a group. Of course, you can get information from Signal directly. The intent of this guide is to provide a source that can be downloaded in one PDF and shared with others.
This guide, and all of the other guides on the My Personal Privacy website, are free to download and share. There are guides for private email, browsing, search, virtual private networks, AI and other applications. You can access them here:
We are surrounded by those who courageously stand for justice, humanity and kindness. This work is in honor of them and dedicated to them.
