Stop Surveillance City: Webinar
Emergency online teach-in and panel discussion! Monday, February 26, 7-8pm
The Mayor is shoving harmful corporate police technologies through a rushed process this month. Learn with us all about how crappy this tech is, how bad it is for communities most impacted by policing and violence, and what we could have instead: violence and harm reduction programs that *actually* keep us safe.
We'll cover all ways you can make your voice heard before it’s too late.
We’re lining up some *amazing* panelists! You won't want to miss this.
