Shut the FLOCK Off first meeting (public)

They promised FLOCK cameras would be used to protect us, but instead they lied, broke the law, they return over 99% non-actionable alerts, cost a lot of money, and cameras including ours have been used illegally to persecute immigration enforcement and people seeking gender affirming care. They have been used to monitor who goes to protests. FLOCK cameras track every vehicle, creating massive databases of innocent people's movements which has already been abused. This isn't solving crime, this is criminals monitoring you and expecting you to pay for it.

Other communities are fighting back and so can we!

Join us for an exploratory 1st meeting on December 15, 2025 at UUBN where we can talk about what was tried here before, what has changed, what other communities have done, meet our allies and hear about resources in this fight, and talk about what WE can do to push back. We are already expecting ACLU, VoR, 50501, and reaching out to others. Please help me get the word out and let me know if you'd like to help.

If you can't make it and would like a virtual option or to connect, please reach out!
