Flock cameras turn our everyday life into searchable records. Stockton’s City Council is expanding that surveillance with public money. Working people should control the institutions and budgets that shape our lives, not pay for more police power over us.

Join Working Class Unity for a special Deflock Stockton organizing meeting. We’ll discuss our campaign to remove mass surveillance from Stockton and how this fight can build lasting working-class power.

What we’ll discuss:

• What Stockton bought and why we demand removal. How the surveillance network works, who controls it, and why access rules alone do not end the routine collection of our movements.
• What actually keeps us safe. Stable housing, safe work, and useful public services, with working people deciding what gets funded and how it is run.
• Our theory of change. How petition conversations can bring people into ongoing participation, shared decisions, and collective action. We understand signatures alone do not change policy. We’ll discuss how to build pressure and decide when to return to City Council with large enough numbers.
• Building an organization that lasts. How you can help shape the campaign, take responsibility for shared work, and build the knowledge and relationships needed to build something sustainable.

Bring your questions, concerns, and ideas. Whether you’ve already signed the petition or are learning about the campaign for the first time, you’re welcome. You do not need to be a WCU member to participate.
