Advocacy

We advocate for systemic reforms in the public and private sector that will reduce the impact of the state’s abuse of power, and curtail influence of corporations willing to facilitate human rights violations.

Police & Prisons

In all areas of our focus, the common theme is that we advocate against governments abusing the power given to them by the people. Whether through repeal of bad laws, enactment of better legislation or policies, we strive to eliminate the impact of the punitive system in our lives.

Corporate Responsibility

Through research and public contracting procedures, we highlight and aim to curtail corporate abuses in the policing, prison, and surveillance sectors. By generating negative media attention and public pressure to change business practices, we create incentives for corporations to disengage from harmful business practices.

Surveillance

Surveillance is ultimately about power - the power to observe and potentially control through an uneven dynamic between the watcher and the watched. Through careful policy crafting, auditing, and advocacy, we seek to minimize or eliminate the negative impact of surveillance technology in our communities.
