DESCRIPTION:\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.\nCheck out some of what we worked on 
 in 2020.\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 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

 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
