ATTN NY: We're joining partners at Stop Spying NY in a call to action!

#FacialRecognition misidentifies women, children, and people of color- and NYC is bringing more of this dangerous tech into Black + Brown communities who are already vulnerable to police bias and discrimination.

Help us to #BanTheScan by asking NYC council speaker Adrienne Adams to call a vote on Intros 217 & 425 to keep New Yorkers safe from biased tech in our homes and grocery stores.

Una nuova ricerca pubblicata da #Amnesty International e dai suoi partner nell’ambito della campagna #BanTheScan ha segnalato che gli abitanti di New York di quartieri dove sono più frequenti le perquisizioni sono esposti all’invadente tecnologia di sorveglianza basata sul riconoscimento facciale.
