README.mdUse the FOIA template to request every Flock contract, search log, and policy from your local police department. The data you get back is the ammunition.
Contact your ACLU affiliate, NAACP chapter, Planned Parenthood, and local libertarian groups. This is the rare issue that unites the left and right.
Use the testimony script at your next council meeting. Time it for when your Flock contract is up for renewal. Bring the evidence.

When your city cancels its Flock contract, document what worked and share it. Every win becomes the template for the next city.
