DESCRIPTION:Facial recognition technology is used increasingly around the world to 
 conduct mass, unconsented surveillance.  It is an important tool for 
 authoritarian governments, and threatens to make us all more prone to 
 government intrusion into our privacy and our freedom.  It is the most 
 recent and one of the most dangerous methods used today to monitor our 
 daily movements and communications, along with drones, automated license 
 plate readers, street corner cameras, cell phone trackers, call 
 interception, and email and Internet spying. \n\nJoin us for a public forum 
 on why and how to advocate for limits on the use of facial recognition 
 technology, as San Francisco and Oakland recently have done, sponsored by 
 the Santa Cruz Chapter of the ACLU of Northern California.  These issues 
 will be discussed by Santa Cruz City Councilmember Justin Cummings, Lee 
 Hepner, aide to San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin, the sponsor of that 
 City’s ban on facial recognition technology, Matt Cagle, Technology and 
 Civil Liberties attorney at the ACLU of Northern California, and Tracy 
 Rosenberg, Executive Director of Media Alliance in Oakland, followed by 
 questions from the audience.  The panel will be moderated by Peter Gelblum, 
 Chair of the Santa Cruz Chapter.\n\n
