Rhode Islanders for Personal Privacy (RIPP) is holding a community discussion event this Sunday, October 4th in East Providence on Surveillance, Behavior Modification, and Individual Rights

Hi all, RIPP will be hosting an event this Sunday, October 4th from 2 pm - 5 pm in the East Providence Public Library.

The movement against ALPR's in general (not just Flock cameras) is growing nationwide. There have been some small successes in our state as some communities have voted to cancel their Flock contracts. Momentum is building, but there is still MUCH MORE to be done!

This event will focus on other types of traffic cameras as well as Flock cameras.

WHEN: Sunday October 4th from 2-5 pm

WHERE: East Providence Public Library, 41 Grove Avenue

As always, this event is about education, asking questions, and community organizing.

Please feel free to checkout our website: www.RIPersonalPrivacy.org

We also now have an instagram account. Please give it a follow: u/ri4personalprivacy

We hope to see you there!

Just wanted to provide a big THANK YOU to the r/providence community for coming out last Wednesday to our meeting on Flock cameras. Special thanks to u/zymurgtechnician for helping to spread the word!

People truly care about their digital rights and privacy on the internet. It is a human right that we must protect in both the physical and digital realm. As we organize, our voices will only become stronger as we attempt to fortify and enshrine these protections.

It's still a bit bare bones and early but we now have a website that people can visit to stay up to date with meetings and activities. You can also sign up for our mailing list there to start getting involved and to take action. Hope to see you around!

EDIT: If you'd like to get involved TODAY, MAY 2nd, we will be flyering at the May Day rally in Dexter Park. Meet at 1PM on the corner of Parade and Oak St. at the park
