Please join the Civil Liberties & Rights Team for its April meeting, 11 am to 1 pm at the Harmony Library in Fort Collins.

We will be hearing reports from our small group action teams working on issues around mass surveillance, elections access, civics education, and team sustainability/support.

We will also continue to discuss the team's work on the City of Fort Collins' contract with the Flock Corporation, and the potential civil liberties dangers of their Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system.

We will also discuss the Fort Collins City Council April 7th meeting, at which the LWVLC advocacy statement on the ALPR system will be presented.

In addition, we will discuss our new collaboration with the ACLU of Colorado and other Colorado communities facing issues around ALPR systems and mass surveillance.

We'll also discuss our planned celebration of voting rights on August 6th, the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, as well as the voting rights pledge we are drafting for elected officials and other community members to sign in advance of the midterm elections.
