Face recognition is an inherently authoritarian technology that makes all of us less safe and less free. AB 2261 was opposed by the ACLU of California and a wide coalition of civil rights organizations because it would have led to an expansion of unchecked face surveillance and civil liberties violations throughout California.

  • Read more about Fighting Local Surveillance: A Toolkit
Together, we are achieving important victories against secret and dangerous surveillance. We are raising awareness of how surveillance technology like drones, stingrays, and facial recognition exacerbate discriminatory policing, suppress dissent, and facilitate harm to immigrants and people of color. We are building the political coalitions and power essential to win surveillance reform and durable social change. We are changing the narrative by explaining why surveillance systems make us less safe and less free.
