Dear *|FNAME|*,   S.T.O.P. has joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving to build a better world – free from harmful technologies and pseudo-scientific surveillance. Join our #GivingTuesday drive this year by donating to S.T.O.P., and your donation will be multiplied FIVE TIMES by an anonymous donor!   Multiply Your Impact 5x Today! Here are some highlights from the work we do to dismantle discriminatory surveillance:    Resisting abortion surveillance In response to SCOTUS's repeal of Roe v. Wade, S.T.O.P.'s team of researchers published "Pregnancy Panopticon" - a report detailing how technology will enforce and amplify this attack on reproductive freedom in America. S.T.O.P. also dug deeper into our campaigns to outlaw the monitoring technologies and practices that help law enforcement track abortion care seekers. We’re raising the alarm about geofence warrants - a digital dragnet policing tool that can identify anyone who visited a clinic. 40 members of Congress called on Google to limit its location data retention so police can’t coopt it, and S.T.O.P. is gaining support for a statewide ban on geofences in New York.   Exposing the true scope of surveillance Thanks to the 2020 POST Act, for which S.T.O.P. was a lead advocate, we’ve worked with our partners at the Legal Aid Society to reveal $3 billion in secret NYPD surveillance contracts from 2007-2019 . (You can view these contracts here.) New Yorkers deserve to see how much money we waste on the tech that watches us, and we’ll continue to reveal the scope of surveillance so we can better fight it.   Unfriending the NYPD S.T.O.P. is fighting police surveillance of our social media. By operating fake social media accounts, law enforcement can see your personal info, posts, and whereabouts without a warrant. They can even scrape your image into a faulty facial recognition database or use your friends or appearance to justify further surveillance, adding your name to a secret "gangs” database. This year, alongside Senator Cordell Cleare and Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, we introduced the first bill in the country to ban these fake police accounts and other social media surveillance tactics in New York.   Taking Surveillance to Court S.T.O.P. and our co-counsel have been fighting a nearly two-year legal battle against Thomson Reuters for selling data without consent to private companies, police, and ICE. We won a major victory that will allow us to sue other data brokers who profit from selling surveillance databases to government. But our victories weren’t limited to the courtroom: investors are now criticizing Thomson Reuters' contracts, forcing the media conglomerate to conduct a human rights impact audit of its data collection for ICE.   All this and more was made possible with YOUR support. On Giving Tuesday, join a worldwide movement for change and help us build on this momentum in 2023 and beyond.   Multiply Your Impact 5x Today!
