Security Trainings
GLPA is excited to partner with the Democracy Security Project (DSP) to provide virtual trainings around increasing cyber security and in-person physical security for candidates, staff, campaigns, and organizations. These virtual trainings focus on increasing awareness, readiness, and providing actionable safety and security support.
