At Reset Tech Kristina spearheads initiatives at the intersection of election integrity, gender, political violence and information resilience. In 2021 she co-founded #ShePersisted, an initiative to ensure that digital harms against women leaders are recognized and addressed as threats to national security and the human rights system. Kristina serves as an advisor to the Global Partnership for Action on Gender-based Online Harassment and Abuse, a 14 country collaboration established to address technology-facilitated gender-based violence as part of a shared global agenda to promote peace, security, and stability. She is originally from the rural state of Montana where she began her journey in change making when at the age of 14 she organized a campaign to build community support for an abortion clinic in the state that was bombed by violent extremists.
At the Summit
To me, Eradicate Hate was the most important gathering of 2021 for those of us who work on issues related to domestic extremism and organized hate. The Summit uniquely combined a variety of perspectives, including experts, civil society representatives, politicians and policymakers, and the families and loved ones of victims. Eradicate Hate has the important mission of standing against the rising tide of hate and extremism in our society, and it’s an honor to be able to support this mission.
