Advocates have been fighting facial recognition for years, and the New York City Council is finally holding a hearing on banning its use by landlords and businesses on Wednesday, May 3rd.

Join us in City Hall Park for a press conference and rally on Wednesday, May 3rd at 11:30 AM ET to demand the New York City Council pass not only these limits on facial recognition, but a full ban on its use by police and government. Please RSVP to join the press conference and rally here.
