Uphold Sanctuary Law - Turn off Flock

The message:

Flock cameras are AI-powered surveillance cameras sold to local police departments and lawmakers as automatic license plate readers. But these cameras allow law enforcement to do much more than scan license plates. The data captured by Flock's cameras can reveal very private details about a person's life, including what meetings a person attends, what doctors' offices and religious institutions they visit, who a person associates with, and even where they sleep at night.

Flock raises serious constitutional questions by permitting the federal government and state and local governments across the country – including ICE, sheriffs, and police – to invade our private lives without a warrant or a reason.

• ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) want to use data from the nationwide Flock network so they can meet the Trump administration's extreme mass deportation objectives.
• States with regressive healthcare laws could use Flock to criminalize people who get abortions and those who seek them in Oregon. In fact, Texas law enforcement was already caught earlier this year using nationwide data from 83,000 Flock cameras as part of their abortion-related "investigation" of a woman in Texas.

Flock is a threat to Oregon's sanctuary law and pro-abortion policies. Our tax dollars should NOT be used to buy cameras that can be weaponized against our immigrant neighbors or people seeking abortions in our state. More than 15 cities and counties in Oregon have contracts with Flock, including: Albany, Central Point, Eugene, Florence, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, Medford, Myrtle Creek, Roseburg, Springfield, Sunriver, Sutherlin, Winston, Woodburn, and Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Lane, and Washington Counties.

The ACLU of Oregon and immigrant rights and privacy organizations urge all Cities and Counties to turn off Flock and keep it off! Eugene and Woodburn have already temporarily paused their Flock systems for further consideration. We must keep this momentum going to get Flock out of Oregon.

Take Action! Send a message to Oregon Cities and Counties with existing contracts and tell them turn off flock.
