[Peace-discuss] Amazon ring / police partnerships in cities across the country

[Karen Medina]

over 2,000 police departments partner with Amazon Ring to surveil
communities.

In an effort to end these partnerships for good, the Athena Surveillance
Table is launching a campaign to pass local ordinances to effectively ban
these partnerships (even in cities without partnerships).

The Surveillance Table is holding its first Ban Ring Coalition Campaign
meeting on
*Thursday, March 23rd from 1-3pm EST. We're hoping you can attend.*
*Click here to RSVP. <https://forms.gle/hn9k6PyLt6AFpU887>*

Hi,

For years, anti-surveillance, civil rights, and racial justice groups have
been sounding the alarm about the dangers posed by Amazon Ring-police
partnerships. Collectively, we've successfully petitioned members of
Congress to investigate these surveillance partnerships, garnered
widespread media attention, and published studies exposing the harms.
Despite all the negative attention and backlash, over 2,000 police
departments continue to partner with Amazon Ring to surveil communities.

In an effort to end these partnerships for good, the Athena Surveillance
Table is launching a campaign to pass local ordinances to effectively ban
these partnerships (even in cities without partnerships).

The Surveillance Table is holding its first Ban Ring Coalition Campaign
meeting on
*Thursday, March 23rd from 1-3pm EST. We're hoping you can attend.*


*Click here to RSVP. <https://forms.gle/hn9k6PyLt6AFpU887>*
At the meeting, we'll talk about the ordinance, the recent changes to how
these partnerships work, share the ordinance campaign toolkit, and discuss
ways we can work together to lead campaigns and/or support local efforts to
ban Ring-police partnerships.

*A little background on Amazon Ring-police partnerships*: Ring cameras
surveil millions, from children playing in the park to people visiting
health clinics to protesters exercising their First Amendment rights.
Alongside the massive growth of this private network of cameras, the tech
giant is aggressively expanding their police partnerships. Amazon’s
doorbell, floodlight, mailbox, and dash cameras record and collect data on
our whereabouts, our homes, and our communities. This massive surveillance
dragnet poses an existential Orwellian threat to the daily lives of the
public at large and to our democracy—but for Black and brown communities
Amazon Ring technology puts their lives in immediate danger.

these dangerous partnerships. Click here to register.
