Join Brooklyn Org’s partner Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (S.T.O.P.) to volunteer to support the effort to “Ban the Scan,” seeking to ban facial recognition in New York City and State. Volunteers will learn about S.T.O.P.’s work on this campaign and have help writing their own advocacy script. Together you will practice your pitch and then go to work as a trained S.T.O.P. advocate. You’ll phone bank together, calling on public officials to eradicate one the most widely known forms of surveillance tech that permeates the city.
