Why This MATTerS!

Together, we all created an important conversation around racism in cyber and national security and we had some tangible impact:

-- Allies asked Practitioners to join calls and join advisory boards
- The cyber community raised ~ $10,000 to sponsor certifications and training for participating Black Practitioners and counting (Donate Here)
- The campaign had combined reach of at least 1.5 million Twitter users (based on number of followers)
- There is a possible virtual DEFCON village or other means to convene the #ShareTheMicInCyber group in the works
- Many who didn’t originally sign up contacted us to ask what more could be done.

***Davin Jackson shared his story and the impact of the campaign on his blog. Read his story here.
