NO ALPR WEEK!
The short version: Texas Civil Rights Project is rallying communities for 'No ALPR Week,' turning quiet opposition to license plate readers into coordinated public action.
Our Take
Credit where it's due: the Texas Civil Rights Project isn't just posting explainers and hoping people get mad on their own time. They're organizing an entire week of coordinated events across Texas aimed squarely at ALPR networks like Flock Safety. That's the kind of on-the-ground pressure that actually moves city councils, not just algorithms.
This matters because Flock's pitch has always relied on nobody paying close attention — a camera here, a camera there, a "free trial" for the local PD, and suddenter you've got a statewide tracking grid nobody voted on. Turning that into a week of visible, local action flips the script: it puts elected officials on notice that constituents know exactly what's watching them and are organized enough to say no.
If you're in Texas or anywhere else these systems are creeping in, this is a good moment to check our camera map to see what's already deployed near you, and to hit up our take-action page for tools to push back before your city becomes the next node in the network.
