**EFFecting Change: Get the Flock Out of Our City**

Flock Contracts Spreading Across the Country: But What's Really at Stake?

The use of Flock Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) has quietly spread to cities across the United States, with officials claiming they keep neighborhoods safe. However, the evidence paints a different picture.

These cameras erode civil liberties from the moment they're installed, raising concerns about surveillance and its impact on communities. The data reveals how Flock ALPRs have enabled monitoring of people seeking abortions, protesters exercising their First Amendment rights, and communities targeted by discriminatory policing practices.

This raises a pressing question: are these systems truly keeping us safe, or are they being used to infringe upon our freedoms? As more cities begin to reject Flock contracts altogether, it's clear that surveillance isn't inevitable – it's a choice.
