Dear Friend,
The powerful have long agreed: Poor and working people must be watched.
With the rapid spread of digital prisons and social media monitoring today, it might seem like the expansion of workplace surveillance is a modern trend. In reality, it's a centuries-old phenomenon, from the monitoring of 19th century coal miners to contemporary efforts to track workers in the digital economy.
To look deeper at these invasive practices, this years's Color of Surveillance conference in Washington D.C. will be focused on the monitoring of poor and working people and those who advocate for them. Team MediaJustice will be bringing a delegation of grassroots activists to the event who will speak specifically to the role race and ethnicity have and continue to play in justifying this type of high-tech surveillance.
The conference, hosted by the Georgetown Law Center on Privacy and Technology, in partnership with MediaJustice and Free Press, will take place on Thursday, November 7th in Hart Auditorium at Georgetown Law.
Register for this free conference today!
In Solidarity,
Steven and the rest of Team MediaJustice
