ALPRs feed billions of scans into centralized databases. These systems provide tremendous power to track our movements by the government agencies and private tech companies that use and abuse them. Come and learn about what we can do together, as a community, to push back against these invasive technologies 🏛️ Burke Library Meeting Room 📍4701 Seminary Rd 🗓️ Monday, Sept. 14th ⏰: 5:30 - 7 PM
