Join S.T.O.P. at these upcoming events!

While New York is doubling down on surveillance, we’re strengthening our fight.

Friend,   While New York is doubling down on surveillance, we’re strengthening our fight. Join us at upcoming events as we assess how surveillance technology is harming vulnerable communities and advocate for the measures to push back.    On May 28, S.T.O.P. Research Director Eleni Manis will moderate “This Call Will Be Monitored: Surveillance In NYC Jails,” a panel on carceral surveillance. As the city prepares to renew its phone surveillance contract with Securus, the panel will examine how call recording and data sharing normalizes permanent criminal suspicion and an infrastructure of invasive surveillance tools. As S.T.O.P. Executive Director Michelle Dahl said, “The City should be shuttering Rikers, not funneling millions toward another half decade of its AI phone surveillance…This sort of technology automates racial profiling and endangers immigrant communities, flagging voices, words, and phrases based solely on algorithmic bias and leaving that data vulnerable to ICE.” Register for "This Call Will Be Monitored: Surveillance In NYC Jails" Then, New York Tech Week is coming up! Join S.T.O.P. and fellow advocates on June 3 for “From Legislation to Action: Shaping the Future of Privacy in New York,” a panel on how the New York Privacy Amendment would safeguard the right to privacy and protect LGBTQ+ people in New York. As online surveillance and data sharing tools threaten to expose personal information, the panel will examine how privacy can be fortified across the state.   Register for "From Legislation to Action: Shaping the Future of Privacy in New York" Also on June 3, we’ll be at the Center for Brooklyn History for “Watching the Watchers: Surveillance, Power, and the Fight for Accountability,” a panel on how surveillance technologies, from facial recognition to predictive policing to protest surveillance, are shaping public life and how we can use legal frameworks, community organizing, and advocacy work to protect civil rights and fight against mass surveillance. Register for "Watching the Watchers: Surveillance, Power, and the Fight for Accountability" Can’t attend? A donation is a meaningful way to support S.T.O.P.’s ongoing work and impact.
