National Deflock America Day

Our Take

Credit to Still Saverino for naming the thing a lot of us have been circling for a while: the fight against Flock Safety's camera network needs a shared moment, not just isolated city council meetings happening in silos across the country. The idea of a 'National Deflock America Day' is less about a single dramatic act and more about synchronization — getting neighbors in Texas, Ohio, and California all raising the same questions on the same day so local officials can't quietly wave off concerns as one-off NIMBYism.

That's the real value of a coordinated day: it turns individual Freedom of Information requests, public comment slots, and 'why is there a camera on my street' moments into a visible pattern. Flock's pitch to city councils relies on each town feeling like it's making an isolated, low-stakes decision. A unified day of action punctures that by showing elected officials this is a national conversation about warrantless tracking of ordinary drivers, not a fringe complaint.

Whether or not this specific date catches on, the instinct behind it is sound — find your local cameras, show up to the meeting, and ask the hard questions before the contract gets renewed. Start with our camera map to see what's already watching your routes, and check take-action for scripts and steps you can use whether or not there's a national day attached to it.
