!! THE ONLY SAFE DATA IS NO DATA !!

Check out this powerful anti-ALPR speech from SV DSA Chapter Office Tim at the Palo Alto City Council Meeting on Monday 8/24, coming shortly after the Anti-ALPR National Week of Action Palo Alto Rally

Tim called on Council to cancel the contract and not pursue other vendors of ALPRs, getting 5 minutes of speaking time when allied community members banded together to cede time to let him speak longer. The Council discussion was regarding the scope of an audit expected to take ~90 days, but community turnout was so strong Council asked if they could agendize canceling the Flock contract sooner than that.

The specific date for mobilizing to cancel Flock is not set yet, but is expected to come soon. Nevertheless, Palo Alto City Council seems poised to transition to a new vendor, so we still have work to do to stop them from instituting the surveillance state under a new banner.

Now is the time to keep the pressure up and try to get them to agendize a cancellation of the Flock contract! Use this letter template to make your voice heard: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/safety-over-surveillance-no-more-alprs-in-palo-alto
