Mission Statement
The Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (S.T.O.P.) advocates and litigates for New Yorkers’ privacy, fighting to ensure that technological advancements don’t come at the expense of age-old rights.
About This Cause
Founded in 2019, S.T.O.P. is redefining an analog Constitution for the digital age. Our work highlights the discriminatory impact of surveillance on Muslim Americans, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, indigenous peoples, and communities of color, particularly the unique trauma of anti-Black policing. We believe that directly impacted communities are best equipped to lead this fight, and that their voices should be at the forefront of this and any movement. We also believe in pushing for radical changes where possible and incremental gains where necessary. We support interim measures, including increased government transparency and accountability, when pursued with the aim of abolishing systems of mass surveillance. We've already won massive privacy victories for New Yorkers: in 2020, we passed the historic Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology (POST) Act -- which requires the NYPD to inform the public about how it uses surveillance technology -- and won the first meaningful victory over the NYPD in a generation. ---- After the repeal of Roe, lawmakers will pressure police and prosecutors to use all the tracking tools in their arsenal to target health providers, pregnant people, and anyone helping them access care. With all mass surveillance, there will be countless bystanders targeted too, those who will be arrested, jailed, and face police violence because of miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and inaccurate data. And with all state surveillance, anti-abortion tracking and enforcement will disproportionately target BIPOC, immigrant, Muslim, and LGBTQ+ communities. Over the last several months, S.T.O.P. has been ramping up our work on anti-abortion surveillance – a fast-growing form of mass surveillance currently skyrocketing, even in rights-protective states like New York.
