Hakeem Anwar is a former software engineer. He became an activist during the pandemic so that he could challenge the rollout of surveillance technology. In this conversation, Hakeem and Jerm unpack the global push for digital identity systems. They discuss how such systems link to agendas like 2030. They also stress a vital need for privacy amid dangers of mishandled biometrics and observe the private sector's heavy hand in building a control grid that erodes personal freedom.

Hakeem pushes for grass-root resistance through strong local networks and alternative economies. He also encourages hands-on tools like de-Googled phones and Linux laptops while he urges folks to dig into the roots of the systems that are pushed on us to enable smarter push-back.
