We join 20 civil rights, civil liberties, religious, and community organizations in calling on Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Police Commissioner William Evans to drop their plan to spend $1.4 million on high-tech social media surveillance software.

“We need money for community wellness, not surveillance. This high-tech spying program runs counter to the Boston Police Department’s mission, which is to do community policing, not ‘pre-crime’ monitoring of speech and associations.” -Kade Crockford, director of the Technology for Liberty Project at the ACLU of Massachusetts
