Action 1: Surveillance and Public Safety Event 7/13
Join the Erase the Database Coalition for an evening of collective study around surveillance and public safety. Surveillance systems intervene in our economic, social, and cultural lives at an accelerating rate. This convening invites attendees to explore criminalization and its relationship to the Chicago gang database and other surveillance systems. We will discuss how we interact with forms of surveillance, and how they impact our communities.
From public space to the workplace, this event seeks to surface emerging tensions between surveillance, human rights, and data justice. Through this event, we hope to attend to community concerns about the harms of surveillance while also inviting feedback and insight about where we go from here. As communities chart new paths toward just and sustainable safety for Chicago and beyond, we hope you will join us.
This event is free! Please register so we can keep a capacity count. Masks are required at this event.
Attend the Surveillance and Public Safety Event on Thursday, July 13 at 6:30 pm.
