_**A big win for a broad coalition, a bad day for big grocery chains and Big Tech!**_
Seattle is the first city in the country to band surveillance pricing for groceries, and it's the first surveillance pricing ban to include a private right of action. It's a huge win that will build momentum […]

![I’m [NAME] from [CITY or COUNTY], a constituent, calling to ask Representative [NAME] to support the Perry/Garcia amendment to limit use of Flock and other automated license plate readers. Congress must shield Americans from this invasive warrantless surveillance technology that threatens privacy, civil liberties, and constitutional rights.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egdheqjwwhhne3rjfi54xugy/bafkreidqeyav4ucmd6thy4ur3lsrfmc2sp5vyukx52bhep5clp2wl33e5q)
![I'm [NAME] of [CITY], one of your constituents, and I'm
very concerned that SB 6002, the Driver Privacy Act is
much too weak to protect immigrants, rapid response
groups, and other vulnerable Washington residents. There
are thousands of Flock surveillance cameras are all over
the state -- and cities like Redmond, Everett, and Olympia
which have turned their Flock cameras off are likely to turn
them back on once SB 6002 passes. So the guardrails in
this bill need to be strengthened significantly.
Reduce retention time to three minutes or less unless
license plates are already on a hotlist. This significantly
reduces risk of data getting to ICE and CBP -- or being
used by police officers to stalk people.
Ensure that human rights organizations, local organizers,
and journalists can provide oversight by eliminating the
public records act exemption.
This is very important legislation and its guardrails need to
be strong enough to protect us.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egdheqjwwhhne3rjfi54xugy/bafkreiehi7teqbiol3z5cmgtg2bsbnp4cmd5mb3oa3fjkmwgfornhkgn7e)
