Hi David & Sudo folk -
Just wanted to remind folks that the Oakland Privacy Working Group (meeting tonight at Sudo Room) has been trying to coordinate a robust and effective response to the Oakland DAC funding in this crucial several week window at the City Council.
It is of course important for everyone who's willing to work to try and stop this to do what they can. It might be helpful though to make sure coordination is taking place so that one part of our collective effort isn't seen as legitimizing a process we are trying to shut down by supporting it through fixing it.
Subscription to the listserv is at oaklandprivacyworkinggroup-subscribe@lists.riseup.net. It would also be great if you could support the petition at http://www.change.org/petitions/the-mayor-and-city-council-of-oakland-ca-don-t-sell-out-the-people-of-oakland-to-the-department-of-homeland-security-don-t-vote-to-fund-the-domain-awareness-center and continue spreading the word.
For those interested, there is also a meeting of the League of Women Voters on this topic tonight (http://www.lwvoakland.org/VOTER-January-2014.html). There will also be an event of relevant interest in Berkeley tomorrow night (https://www.eff.org/event/nsa-surveillance-and-our-almost-orwellian-state).

Hey guys,
a friend of mine who works for the city of Oakland and is meeting with the ACLU on DAC stuff (to fix this nightnare) has asked me for
- a coherent, semi-formal argument against the DAC.
- Language against specific aspects of the DAC like the shot spotters, facial recognition, etc. What they will be used for vs what they say they will be used for, etc.
What resources do we have on hand that I can forward or write up for them?
Thanks!
David
