John,

This is urgent: The federal government is moving to award exclusive facial recognition rights to Clearview AI for ICE.1

Clearview AI has stolen over 50 billion images from social media and websites, without anyone’s permission. They have created one of the largest facial recognition databases in the world using illegal and unethical practices on the backs of everyday people like us. They sell access to this database to law enforcement, ICE, and government agencies, including in your own state. We’ve seen what happens when this technology is allowed to go unchecked: more surveillance, more targeting, and more harm, especially to Black people and other vulnerable communities.

This technology is unreliable. It’s invasive. It’s dangerous. And it risks misidentification for Black and Brown communities.

The Trump administration is using this dangerous technology, contributing to wrongful arrests, hyper-surveillance, and government overreach. But there are options to counter them.

Your State Attorney General can hold Clearview AI - and other bad actors like them accountable, but they need to hear from us now. Sign on to join us in our fight for a virtual world that is safe for Black people!

We are calling on AGs:

1. Tell us how many law enforcement agencies and offices in their state use Clearview AI;
2. Investigate potential consumer protection and privacy violations by the theft of our personal photos;
3. Join with other AGs in coordinating nationwide investigations, and;
4. Enforce consumer protection state law to protect people’s biometric privacy.

TELL YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ACT NOW: [link removed]

We can’t afford to wait.

Clearview is still operating, still selling our faces to the highest bidder, and still putting our people at risk.

John, we need you in this fight. Sign on to our petition, and demand that the State Attorneys General take action now.
