Calling all NYC community members to join us for a City Hall Park press conference & rally condemning the NYPD’s noncompliance with the Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology (POST) Act!

The press conference and rally will occur prior to a joint committee hearing by the Committee on Technology and the Committee on Public Safety about the POST Act, which the NYPD has blatantly disregarded throughout the three years since its passage. The POST Act was an essential first step in gaining greater transparency over the state of surveillance in New York City, but let's demand the City Council go further by banning police use of broken, biased spyware like facial recognition, geofence warrants, the so-called ‘gang database,’ and other tools.
