Digital Justice advocates shares their views about surveillance technologies
On October 9, 2021, the surveillance technologies policy development team organized a panel called ‘Meet the Experts! Learn about Digital Justice, Digital Rights, and Surveillance Technologies’.
Four experts joined us in this panel:
Sarah T. Hamid - Carceral Tech Resistance Network (link)
Julie Mao - Just Future Law (link)
Chris Bushick - PDX Privacy (link)
Brian Hofer - Secure Justice (link)/ Chair of the Oakland Privacy Commission (link)
The event was intended to discuss impacts of surveillance technologies and how communities are organizing around them.
These experts dedicate their advocacy work to support communities. Our surveillance technologies policy team wants to learn from those experiences and help inform the Portland community. We will aim to invite them and other community members with passion and different types of expertise to participate in future events and engage in ongoing discussions.
We have extracted questions and answers in a series of videos to facilitate access to specific issues and topics. We invite you to start with the introductory video where these experts introduce themselves and their work.
