DESCRIPTION:National week of action August 16-22! Many locations, see the website. 
 \n\nAutomated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are proliferating across the 
 country and in our own communities. The City of Palo Alto has a contract 
 with Flock to operate AI-driven ALPRs on the streets where we drive to 
 work, shop, and meet with friends and neighbors. Flock, along with other 
 corporations in the surveillance industrial complex, is working to build a 
 new Orwellian reality in which government and private companies track and 
 log our every move.\n\nMass surveillance systems—like the one operated by 
 Flock in Palo Alto—pose a threat to our privacy, to public dissent, and 
 to vulnerable populations targeted by the MAGA regime. DHS and ICE have 
 accessed ALPR data to track down, detain, and deport immigrants whose 
 license plates appear in that data.\n\nDuring the week of August 16–22, 
 Americans across the country will be observing a National Week of Action 
 Against ALPRs. They will be speaking out that week against Flock, against 
 ALPRs, against unsafe surveillance, and against a growing police 
 state.\n\nJoin us for a Safety Over Surveillance Rally at King Plaza, in 
 front of Palo Alto City Hall, on Thursday, August 20, from 5:30 PM to 6:30 
 PM.\n\nGreat visuals include handmaidens in red robes with Flock camera 
 heads plus live music by the Mitchell Park Band and the Raging Grannies 
 starts ahead of the hour and continues after. \n
