Fighting for Democracy
The FLOCK traffic cameras, used in Bloomington-Normal, track every vehicle that passes by, creating massive databases of innocent people’s movements - where you worship, protest, seek healthcare, visit friends.
This isn’t about solving crime, although that is the justification given for these cameras. Over 99% of FLOCK alerts lead nowhere.
This is corporate surveillance for profit.
If you would like to join the movement to say no to the AI powered techno-fascist mass surveillance state, join us for our second meeting discussing ways to
SHUT THE FLOCK OFF!
For more information on Flock cameras and how they are being (mis)used, click here.
Next meeting January 21, 2026, 6:30 pm
