Erase the Database and Women & Children First Present: Systems and Safety: Surveillance, Data Violence and Criminalization

This event is free! Please register here so we can keep a capacity count. Masks are required at this event. 

Join the Erase the Database Coalition for an evening of collective study around surveillance and public safety. Surveillance systems intervene in our economic, social and cultural lives at an accelerating rate. This convening invites attendees to explore criminalization and its relationship to the Chicago gang database and other surveillance systems. We will discuss how we interact with forms of surveillance, and how they impact our communities. From public space to the workplace, this event seeks to surface emerging tensions between surveillance, human rights, and data justice. Through this event, we hope to attend to community concerns about the harms of surveillance while also inviting feedback and insight about where we go from here. As communities chart new paths toward just and sustainable safety for Chicago and beyond, we hope you will join us.

Accessibility: This event is hosted at the bookstore, which is a wheelchair accessible space. Masks are required at the event. For other questions or access needs, please email events@womenandchildrenfirst.com.
