April 28: stop tech companies from profiting off incarceration

[link removed]

Hey Friend,

Not only do our communities suffer at the hands of digitized racism, tech companies like BI Incorporated profit off the tools that operationalize our oppression.

While marketed as an “evidence-based” alternative to incarceration, electronic monitoring (EM) and all forms of e-carceration like license plate readers, weaponized databases, and risk assessment tools are actually extensions of mass incarceration—not alternatives.

Join us for the launch of a new digital organizing hub, Unshackling Freedom, to fight the harmful use of EM and all kinds of e-carceration.

Date: April 28, 2022

Time: 6:30pm ET

RSVP: bit.ly/emlaunch42822 ([link removed])

Guest speakers include:
* James Kilgore, author of Understanding E-Carceration
* Emmett Sanders, Project Researcher for Challenging E-Carceration
* Briana Payton, Chicago Community Bail Fund
* Ambrose Brooks S, Dignity and Power Now
* Julie Mao, Just Futures Law

Our demand is clear: we aren’t looking to reform EM, we’re looking to abolish it as a part of the struggle to end mass incarceration.

Join us for the launch of #UnshacklingFreedom: a digital home to everything you need to design, organize, launch, and win a campaign to ban or block Electronic Monitoring in YOUR community.

With background information and a step-by-step campaign design guide, we can build the power we need to make change.

In Solidarity,
James Kilgore
Director, Challenging E-Carceration Project at MediaJustice
