Organizations United Against Mass Surveillance

Stronger Together

The fight against mass surveillance isn't just about privacy activists. It's about civil rights, immigrant protection, democratic accountability, and community safety.

Organizations across Minnesota are joining this effort. So are you?

Coalition Goals

Transparency: Demand that Woodbury disclose any Flock contracts, data sharing agreements, and surveillance infrastructure through FOIA requests and public records.
City Council Opposition: Mobilize residents to oppose Flock expansion at city council meetings.
Community Awareness: Educate Woodbury residents about ALPR technology, its risks, and alternatives.
Policy Change: Advocate for city council resolutions against mass surveillance and for stronger privacy protections.
