Protest/Rally
With no further action taken since the pause on the Flock cameras, it’s clearly revealed as political opportunism.
The surveillance state is actively killing people every single day and our demand against Flock cannot be so easily appeased!
End the surveillance and militarization of our enighborhoods now!
We’re coming together for a rally and march to show that we know what to do to make sure America never has a king: VOTE EARLY. We’ll be carrying signs saying WHY we are voting, WHEN & WHERE we are voting, and WHO we are bringing with us.
Protest OSU Athletics' sponsorship with Anduril, the military technology company!
We believe that OSU has no business collaborating with companies that are a part of the military industrial complex, and that contribute to the reckless development of AI.
The fight isn’t over! Yesterday, Mayor Ginther announced that Flock usage is being put on hold. This is not a victory until all surveillance cameras are taken down and all contracts with mass surveillance networks are ended! A contract pause is not enough! Guardrail legislation is not enough!
Now is the time to keep up the pressure on City Council to ensure that the Flock contract is not renewed in November. Show up, bring a friend, and let’s show Columbus City Council that we will fight against the surveillance of our neighborhoods!
The Safety Not Surveillance Coalition is heading back to City Hall via a motorcade. We will not allow @columbuscitycouncil to ignore us.
Meet us at PJP Headquarters at 4:30 for the motorcade to City Hall. We will arrive at 5pm and there will be a community rally against ALPR cameras from 5-7pm.
The Safety Not Surveillance Coalition demands:
1. Cancel all existing contracts with Flock Safety immediately.
2. Cover the cameras immediately and dismantle them as soon as possible.
We are taking the fight to them! Please join us on September 20th from 3-5PM at the Ohio Statehouse to demand an end to the legislative assault on transgender people and our rights!
Join us this Monday (8/24) at City Hall to show Columbus City Council that we don’t want Flock in our city!
Bring a friend, and bring a sign!
