We need your signatures! Tell SD City Council to reject mass surveillance funding.

The City has shared license plate location data with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and CBP 10 times in the last year. Fund public services, not ICE raid infrastructure.

San Diego protested Palantir and its dangerous and deadly surveillance technologies that track everyday people and cause untold human suffering while prioritizing profits for billionaires. Sharing four photos from the event, which was part of a national day of action against Palantir.

And the Trump admin has declared war on the labor movement by deporting and refusing to return Building Trades brother Kilmar Abrego, by illegally canceling the visas of academic workers, by unilaterally canceling federal worker contracts, and making anti-union appointments.

Flock lied to cities and it has come out that federal immigration agents had direct access to Flock's networks. www.9news.com/article/news...

Sorry about this! While the skeet text is identical to the image text, we can do better by making sure to include image descriptions as well. Bluesky doesn't let us edit published posts. Would it be helpful to do alt text in new additions to this thread? 🧵

We'll have lunch and time for you to host open sessions in the afternoon.

"Latino and immigrant communities are already being targeted based on the color of the skin, language, last names and identity. Our communities live in constant fear of being monitored." - Miguel Avila, student at UC San Diego to City Council

San Diego TRUST Coalition @sandiegotrust.bsky.social · Aug 24

"I’ve seen firsthand how police surveillance, like the license plate readers, doesn’t keep our community safe. It expands state control, especially in Black and Brown communities, with no real accountability." - Christina Griffin-Jones, former City Police Commission member.

Voice and Viewpoint reviews why "In the Shadow of ICE, Trust in San Diego Policing Tools Continues to Crumble." This is a powerful review of why San Diego neighborhoods and unions do not trust automated license plate readers and are calling for #alpr to be shut down in #sandiego.
