John,

Students across the country are calling on the U.S. Department of Education to ban facial recognition in schools today as part of ❤️ Fight’s back-to-school National Day of Action. They are writing to policymakers, spreading awareness, and saying loud and clear that this invasive, biased, and dangerous surveillance technology has no place in schools. Join students in the fight against facial recognition and sign the letter today urging the U.S. Department of Education to take action against facial recognition now.

Take Action

In D.C., organizers are hand-delivering a letter to the U.S. Department of Education today; Encode Justice New York and S.T.O.P. are hosting a letter-writing and community education event tomorrow; and students from the California and Georgia chapters of Encode Justice are organizing virtually and writing to their state education agencies.

Our National Day of Action includes advocates like you signing our open letter and supporting our organizers on the ground. Students need us to stand with them this back-to-school season. Join the fight against facial recognition now.

In solidarity,
