Take action 💪

Currently preparing for the National Week of Action against ALPRs 📣

Talking points about Flock 🤨

• Flock Safety is a terrible company, but we need to be clear: we simply do not want unchecked surveillance in our community. 🏘️
• Federal hell 🔥
  • If we create surveillance and data, what stops the feds from compelling us to hand it over in service of whatever fucked oppression they pull next?
  • Remember, DHS is constantly doing creepy surveillance shit like tracking protestors and doing creepy ad-tech purchases
  • I don't know if everyone has noticed, but the federal government is kind of at war with many of its citizens these days
  • Let's not fund the systems that will help them do the white nationalist reich they're trying to pull

Evergreen actions 🌲

• Connect on one of our lists and get organized with folks fighting mass surveillance
• Tell your friends and start letting people know these cameras even exist - print some zines!
• Contact your local elected folks
• Educate yourself and read some articles about mass surveillance, locally and beyond, and find out what others have been doing to fight all this

Even more ideas 💡

• Contact your local police force that's using Flock cameras and ask them what their policy will be when those cameras are inevitably used by ICE to terrorize our community - and then research what happened in the Twin Cities when people in power had made promises and ICE came in force. [Spoiler alert: promises always get broken in favor of capital and white supremacy. Wonder why that is?]
• More importantly, contact the people who hold the purse strings for that force, and convince them to cancel the Flock contracts, as Verona and the Dane County Board have
• Support local Civilian Control Over Police Surveillance (CCOPS) ordinances and laws
• Support the state constitutional amendment protecting right to privacy
• Support the national ICE Out of Our Faces Act
