Fight SFPD's dangerous power grab
Friends,
Though I am soon leaving san Francisco, this is so concerning that I signed it.
Be well.
NO POLICE STATE! Limit surveillance!
Claire –
Once again, the SFPD is trying to sneak a massive power grab past the residents of San Francisco. But thanks to the 2019 surveillance law that you all helped pass, we can fight it.
This time, the police department wants sweeping access to the thousands of private cameras in the city, including those on doorbells and businesses. If supervisors give the go-ahead, it would be one of the largest expansions of surveillance in San Francisco history, with no meaningful limits on how this information can be shared.
It couldn't come at a more precarious time.
Here in the Bay Area, if we care about reproductive rights, if we care about stopping police violence, if we care about protecting activists - then we must do everything we can right now to bolster privacy protections, not build more surveillance.
Take Action
Another thing about SFPD's proposal: San Franciscans don't want it. We commissioned a poll that found residents across the city overwhelmingly oppose letting the police use private cameras to live-monitor people in San Francisco.
San Franciscans reject this expansive monitoring because we know that immigrants, the unhoused, people of color, LGBTQ+ communities, and religious minorities have borne the brunt of government surveillance and will continue to do so if SFPD is successful. Look at SFPD's track record, and it's obvious that giving the police more surveillance will make us less safe.
