> The surprise announcement came days after the city floated a plan to hand over the camera management and access exclusively to police

How do I stay up to date on information like this? What can I do as a resident to help the cause?

Email me please, it's in my profile. You can absolutely help.
Can you just share publicly what people can do to help?
I would love to do that!

For our effort in SD specifically, we need to add more help and voices to get 2 ordinances passed, to establish oversight of existing & future surveillance technology. Once we are successful at that, we will have a huge amount of work ahead of us to process San Diego's existing inventory of surveillance tech. We need volunteers to help do that work. We need a lot of them, to help keep the workload manageable.

For other cities, you need to get started by challenging an existing surveillance tech & assembling a coalition. Then you can work to establish local oversight of your local surveillance tech.
