We demand ALX end all contracts with Flock and other automatic license plate reader companies!

Join DeFlock Alexandria as we launch our campaign against the expanding mass surveillance in our city.

The community meeting will feature mass surveillance expert Dr. Steven Keener. Dr. Keener is a leading researcher on Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs), board member at the Justice Forward Virginia Foundation, assistant professor of criminology at CNU in VA, and director of the Center for Crime, Equity, and Justice Research and Policy.

ALPRs are high-speed, AI-enabled cameras used to identify drivers and pinpoint their location. This digital dragnet captures license plate data and other images of every traveler. ALPRs feed billions of scans into centralized databases. These systems provide tremendous power to track our movements by the government agencies and private tech companies that use and abuse them.

Come and learn about what we can do together, as a community, to push back against these invasive technologies.
