FLOCK is a brand of automated license plate readers used in policing in the Mahoning Valley (and around the U.S.). Everywhere you go, your license plate is being scanned, without your consent. Hundreds of groups have stood up to private company selling our data to numerous agencies. Join local police tech & digital surveillance experts and regional community organizers to learn about this technology and the work being done to cancel contracts while protecting our communities from surveillance

What can we do together to educate our communities and stop this invasion of privacy?

Join us for this Flock 101 class and organizing meeting. No prior knowledge is needed to participate.

A free vegan meal will be served. Event space is fully accessible.

This is part of the National Week of Action Against ALRPs, find out more here.
