 decades have improved our lives in countless ways. Yet, these advances have 
 come as a double-edged sword. \n\nWhile technology has made it easier to 
 connect with faraway family and friends and gain access to the world’s 
 libraries of information, it has also led to a stark loss of privacy 
 through widespread data collection and surveillance by both government 
 agencies and for-profit companies, including the imposition of electronic 
 monitoring at workplaces. \n\nThis livestream event will feature 
 representatives of organizations using research, community organizing, and 
 policy advocacy to expose and challenge the inner workings of the 
 corporations and government agencies that are tracking us every 
 day.\n\nFEATURING:\n\nModerator: Jennifer Jones, Technology and Civil 
 Liberties Fellow, ACLU Northern California\n\nHamid Khan, Coordinator, Stop 
 LAPD Spying Coalition\n\nSheheryar Kaoosji, Executive Director, Warehouse 
 Workers Resource Center\n\nJacinta González, Senior Campaign Organizer, 
 Mijente\n\nNash Sheard, Associate Director of Community Organizing, 
 Electronic Frontier Foundation\n\nABOUT THE SERIES\n\nA Black-led movement 
 demanding police accountability and justice has galvanized anger, grief, 
 and frustration over the repeated killings of Black men and women both 
 historically and in the present day—but also hope for a future rooted in 
 true belonging. People worldwide are participating in a pivotal uprising 
 that will reshape not only our relationship with Black communities, but 
 also our collective future. “Rise Up For Justice: Black Lives and Our 
 Collective Future,” an ongoing livestream series from the Othering & 
 Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley, is providing space for cutting edge 
 conversations among activists, scholars, journalists, and other thought 
 leaders to provide context and analysis on this transformative moment and 
 envision what comes next in the movement for racial justice.\n\nABOUT THE 
 OTHERING & BELONGING INSTITUTE\n\nThe Othering & Belonging Institute at UC 
 Berkeley brings together researchers, organizers, stakeholders, 
 communicators, and policymakers to identify and eliminate the barriers to 
 an inclusive, just, and sustainable society in order to create 
 transformative change. We are a diverse and vibrant hub generating work 
 centered on realizing a world where all people belong, where belonging 
 entails being respected at a level that includes the right to both 
 contribute and make demands upon society and political and cultural 
 institutions.\n\nThis event is cosponsored by the ACLU of Northern 
 California.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/12/05/18838807.php
