Getting a surveillance transparency ordinance or a facial recognition ban passed in your town can seem like an overwhelming task. It’s not. You can do it!
Oakland Privacy and ACLU of Northern California sat down to write a step by step guide based on the dozen ordinances in place across the country, including 8 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
This free guide includes loads of advice on coalition-building, public education, strategy, research, messaging and advocacy.
It also includes a bunch of samples of useful things like: sample public records requests, sample concern letters to local government, sample meeting requests, coalition letters, public comment samples, narrative frameworks, sample op-eds, jargon glossary, and policy checklists.
Oakland Privacy gets asked for these kinds of things all the time. Ask no more.
(You can still call or email us, but now … instant gratification).
