DESCRIPTION:Find connection info here a few days before the meeting.\n\n \n\nJoin 
 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 spy drones, facial 
 recognition, police body camera secrecy, anti-transparency laws and 
 requirements for “backdoors” to cellphones; we oppose “pre-crime” 
 and “thought-crime,” --  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\nCheck 
 out some of what we worked on in 2019.\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, mass aerial 
 surveillance, 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

 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\n   \n\n
