44] – Myaisha Hayes [socialmedia@mediajustice.org] wants you to know about a virtual Teach-in on Wed., Sept. 20 at 5 PM ET. 20 years after the launch of the War on Terror, DHS continues to fuel militarized policing and surveillance across our communities—under a grant program called UASI, which cities rely on for emergency response funds. The Urban Area Security Initiative—combined with related DHS counterterrorism grants—have given $29 billion to cities and states across the country since 2003. Our research shows this money buys corporate surveillance tech like ShotSpotter, license plate readers, drones, predictive policing software, and social media surveillance. Join the Surveillance Resistance Lab, MediaJustice, LittleSis, ACRE, Muslim Justice League, and Stop LAPD Spying as we learn from researchers and organizers who are pushing back.

49] –Every child in Maryland (and everywhere else) deserves to be nurtured, educated, and treated with respect.

Join Jews United for Justice on Wed., Sept. 20 at 7:30 PM on Zoom for a Youth Justice Working Group meeting. Go to https://jufj.org/event/md-youth-3/?emci=02c8e37a-2b57-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&emdi=40127163-3457-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&ceid=3403859
