The Anti-Surveillance Toolkit
Tools & Resources
The most complete anti-surveillance toolkit assembled anywhere — the best tools, maps, watchdogs, and reading from across the movement, in one place. We didn't build these; brilliant people and organizations did. We point you to them so you can find what's watching your town and do something about it. We're fans and allies, not affiliated with any of them.
