DESCRIPTION:Join Oakland Privacy to organize against the surveillance state, police 
 militarization and ICE, and to advocate for surveillance regulation around 
 the Bay and nationwide.\n\n\nWe fight against “pre-crime” and 
 “thought-crime,” spy drones, facial recognition, police body camera 
 secrecy, anti-transparency laws and requirements for “backdoors” to 
 cellphones, to list just a few invasions of our privacy by all levels of 
 Government, and attempts to hide what government officials, employees and 
 agencies are doing.\n\nWe draft and push for privacy legislation for City 
 Councils, at the County level, and in Sacramento. We advocate in op-eds and 
 in the streets. We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and believe 
 no one is illegal.\n\nOakland Privacy originally came together in 2013 to 
 fight against the Domain Awareness Center, Oakland’s citywide networked 
 mass surveillance hub. OP was instrumental in stopping the DAC from 
 becoming a city-wide spying network.  We helped fight and helped win the 
 fight against Urban Shield.\n\nOur major projects currently include local 
 legislation to regulate state surveillance (we got the strongest 
 surveillance regulation ordinance in the country passed in Oakland!), 
 supporting and opposing state legislation as appropriate, battling mass 
 surveillance in the form of facial recognition and other analytics, and 
 pushing back against ICE.\n\nOn September 12th, 2019 we were presented with 
 a Barlow Award by the Electronic Frontier Foundation for our work.\n\nIf 
 you are interested in joining the Oakland Privacy email listserv, coming to 
 a meeting, or have questions, send an email 
 to:\n\ncontact@oaklandprivacy.org\n\n\nCheck out our

 YOU WATCHING US”\nOakland Privacy works regionally to defend the right to 
 privacy and enhance public transparency and oversight regarding the use of 
 surveillance techniques and equipment.  Oakland Privacy drove the passage 
 of surveillance regulation and transparency ordinances in Oakland and 
 Berkeley and is kicking off new processes in various municipalities around 
 the Bay.  To help slow down the encroaching police and surveillance state 
 all over the Bay Area, join us at the Omni.\n
