ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) tirelessly pursues large-scale impact that affects real people's lives, including reproductive, youth, and LGBTQ rights; mass incarceration and racial justice; privacy, surveillance, and technology. S.T.O.P (Stop Surveillance Oversight Project) fights to end discriminatory surveillance. It challenges both individual misconduct and broader systemic failures by crafting policies and educating impacted communities on how they can protect their rights. In this session, our speakers will share how these two organizations are fighting harms from the surveillance state - automated decision systems, predictive policing tools, facial recognition systems, and getting agencies to disclose how they are using these pervasive systems.
Speaker/s: Jennifer Lee, Technology & Liberty Manager, ACLU of Washington and Eleni Manis, Research Director, S.T.O.P
