What does a framework for municipal privacy look like? How do you engage your community and other stakeholders to take action? Oakland Privacy is a citizen’s coalition that works regionally to defend the right to privacy and enhance public transparency and oversight regarding the use of surveillance techniques and equipment. They write policies and reports about surveillance technologies, conduct research and investigations, and develop frameworks for implementation focused on civil rights and community control. They've had numerous successes, including creating the first standing municipal citizens’ privacy advisory commission in the City of Oakland, helping pass privacy enhancing legislative efforts locally, and terminating a sitting law enforcement agreement between its police department and ICE. Brian Hofer, director of Secure Justice and former member of Oakland Privacy, joins us this week to talk about how other communities can do what Oakland has done. |
