ALPRs are high-speed, AI-enabled cameras used to identify drivers and pinpoint their location. This digital dragnet captures license plate data and other images of every traveler. 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

Washington, D.C., is a city built on monuments; towering tributes to history, and the occasional poorly managed construction project. In this brand-new hour of sketch comedy, Bad Medicine takes aim at the people, institutions, and ideas that have become larger than life. From political landmarks and crumbling infrastructure to cultural icons and everyday institutions that somehow refuse to die, nothing is too sacred or too structurally unsound.
Come celebrate the grandeur, question the legacy, and laugh at the potholes beneath it all. Bad Medicine is building A Monument to Comedy and unlike most projects in the District, this one might actually be finished on time.
