southerners against surveillance systems & infrastructure

We are Southerners who are committed to dismantling the insidious state and corporate surveillance systems and infrastructure around us. Our focus is not only police technologies but all technologies that perform a policing function.

We understand that while the technologies used to surveil may be new, who is surveilled and why is not. The data economy has evolved the prison-industrial complex, incubating new industries of surveillance and reorganizing the state. In this era, “data is how the state sees its subjects and itself.” (Roderic Crooks)

We are committed to building a world where everyone is free. Our solidarity is our power.
