Alert! This Wednesday Sept 9th at 2pm Portland City Council will hear public testimony on banning facial recognition. If this passes it will be one of the strongest bans on this in the country. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2020/02/portland-considering-strictest-ban-on-facial-recognition-technology-in-the-us.html

Council has set aside two hours for this and it'd great to get a ton of written and verbal testimony in for this. Businesses will push back on this because they want to "protect their property"
Info for the day can be found here:

You can submit written testimony to: [email protected]
You can sign up to testify in the link in the above Tweet to testify during the hearing. Deadline to sign up in Tuesday Sept 8th at 4 pm.

Please share this info!
