[[link removed]]Dear John,

Last week Liberty and campaigner Ed Bridges won the world’s first legal case
against police use of facial recognition.

The Court of Appeal said South Wales Police’s use of the tech in public is
unlawful because it violates our right to privacy and breaks data protection and
equality laws.

It’s a tremendous victory, but now we need to go even further.
Join Liberty today, and let’s get the privacy-abusing, discriminatory tech off
our streets for good.

[[link removed]]Liberty has been standing up to power since 1934. But we’re only as strong as
our members.

From fighting against fascism, mass surveillance and racist immigration
policies, to championing safe workplaces, equal marriage, and trans rights,
Liberty members have challenged injustice and fought to make the UK a fairer
place for everyone for almost a century.

They are at the cutting edge of human rights in the UK. And as our first
president, EM Forster, said: it is “the fight that is never done”.

Police facial recognition that snatches everyone’s data without consent and
misidentifies black people, meaning they are more likely to be stopped by
police, makes a mockery of our rights.

After our court win, we have it on the ropes. Now it’s time for the final blow –
but we need your help.

Join Liberty today and let’s change society for the better.

Director
