for
the Virtual Town Hall.

We hope you can join us for our next Virtual Town Hall on Tuesday, June
30th at 7:00 PM, in which we will discuss important privacy and civil
liberties issues that have been amplified by the global health pandemic,
protest movement, and increasing police use of technology.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen the continued expansion of
technology and surveillance, often with few privacy protections. And now,
we’ve seen tech used to monitor protests nationwide. Military-grade
surveillance equipment has been deployed by police during protests now and
in the past, even though this technology has repeatedly been shown to
disproportionately misidentify Black and Brown people

These technologies destroy our rights to anonymity and privacy – and
perpetuate the racism endemic in our criminal legal system.

During the Town Hall, we will talk with subject matter experts about a
range of technology-related civil liberties issues we are tracking – and
working hard to address in the courts, legislature, and through public
engagement. The Town Hall will cover, among other topics:

·    Our recent lawsuit against Clearview AI
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001QFhQH1skUv_6m3ncZQyum6pYA4wg2gHCYM_J_iG_YwBWqahzMmIqaMmVhA5RsdB6u9Gnfi5DKJaVb6na-iUffrLqyAGaGJRkyMGgCkBWChGL3YazrG5_4zxVi7j-30Egzgz65b_c-p8V-QFwt04WIy2gf2ukSsZKlSJk6tR8wvsyZRGhTO6isRKGQbgmvpYb5CDia2sMHK2LNEDvQlb0yw==&c=y28ucFhhA52gxctZRBgT0R7AI7Ng6dvWH_u09ZOqjrx9-kPEfY8EGA==&ch=LCCqOOVdf7483vuFBOMnWAYkAgytlL8qlo-VznEbrNlBDtLNEQDqCg==>,
which seeks to end to the company’s privacy-destroying surveillance
activities and unlawful facial recognition technology;

·    Effective and efficient approaches to fighting the COVID-19 pandemic
that do not sacrifice privacy and civil liberties;

·    Practical tips to protect your privacy and personal information during
protests; and

·    New police uses of technologies, such as geofence warrants and drone
surveillance, and what each of us can do to limit police overreach.

We hope that you able to join us for this virtual conversation to learn
more about these important issues.

Please reach out to us at events at aclu-il.org if you have any questions.
