8:05 a.m.
Looks like the meeting itself also starts at 5:30, but the DAC is item #20
on the agenda (
https://oakland.legistar.com/MeetingDetail.aspx?ID=274014&GUID=40979A84…)
which means that unless they move it up on the agenda (which is possible,
although we have no real way to know whether they will), that they will
only get to it some time later. If you'll be nearby, you can always watch
the meeting online and just come when it seems like they're getting close
to the topic :) Here's how to watch:

(Please forward widely)
Oakland City Council is building a surveillance
center to aggregate video
surveillance feeds from all over Oakland. The Domain
Awareness Center
(DAC), as it's called, will include a computer system that aggregates
information from surveillance cameras and license plate
readers across Oakland, and in the future may include facial recognition
software and
social media data mining.
On Tuesday 11/19, City Council will be voting on a resolution that will
allow them
to move forward with a new contractor for the project (after the
old contractor was found to violate an Oakland law that prevents the city
from doing business with companies that are in the nuclear weapons
industry) without issuing a new request for proposal (RFP). If the
resolution fails, Oakland will have to issue a new RFP & potentially lose
Dept of Homeland Security funds for the center.
The NY Times made the DAC
national news, as
similar centers are being considered in other cities.
There's an opportunity to halt or slow down
the construction of the DAC
this Tuesday evening, so please join a planned rally at
5:30 and/or come to
the City Council meeting itself. Meetings are open to the public & you can
even sign up to speak (DAC is item #20).
