Remove Mass Tracking. Defend the Constitution.

What We Are

A Volunteer Civic Project

We are a volunteer civic-education and constitutional-privacy organizing project: neighbors who research, document, and speak. The project began in Oklahoma, its founding chapter, and its active work now runs from California's Central Valley. One shared name, one verification standard, local work in both places - the Oklahoma record is kept on The Honor Roll.

Liberty over surveillance. Every time.

Tone & Values

How We Carry Ourselves

• Peaceful and lawful, always. We work through public meetings, public records, and public speech. Nothing else.
• Factual. Every claim is sourced and dated. Where we are uncertain, we say so. See our verification standard and corrections policy.
• Constitutional. Our argument rests on the Fourth Amendment and the Supreme Court's own reasoning about aggregated location data. We state the law accurately and never overclaim it.
• Cross-partisan. Privacy from mass surveillance is not a left or right issue. We welcome everyone, and we do not campaign for or against candidates under this project's identity.
• Not anti-police. We are critical of surveillance systems and weak accountability structures, not of individuals. Officers and their families are tracked by these databases too.

What We Do

Education, Research, Documentation, Organizing

• Civic education - plain-language explainers like The Cameras and Know Your Rights.
• Research and verification - primary-source fact-checking of every contract, vote, and case we cite.
• Public records - the landmark cases and legislation, and our own requests and agency responses, on the Records page; the nationwide record of communities stepping back, in the Nationwide Tracker.
• Peaceful organizing - public meetings, council attendance, records requests, and volunteer coordination. Starting a chapter where you live: the launch process.

Conduct Standards

The Lines We Do Not Cross

• No threats, harassment, or encouragement of confrontation - toward anyone, ever.
• No doxxing. We never publish private personal information, and we advocate the same restraint we demand of government.
• Recording only as applicable law permits.
• We distinguish fact, opinion, allegation, and unresolved questions - and label which is which.
• Visible, dated corrections when we get something wrong.

Independent civic-education and constitutional-privacy project. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency, library, venue, police department, or political party.

Join the Project

Four Ways to Help

This is a volunteer civic project. It moves at the speed of the people who show up.

• Research - file and track public-records requests, verify tracker entries against primary sources, monitor council agendas and the legislature.
• Local coordination - help organize meetings in your town, be the point of contact for your city, attend and document council meetings.
• Content & media - write plain-language explainers, prepare print materials, and (once handles exist) run the project's social presence to the same factual standard as this site.
• Start a chapter in your state - be the founding coordinator where you live. The full launch process, venue list, and reservation script are on The Honor Roll.

Join by email

Send an email to [email protected] with your name, your town, and how you'd like to help - research, local coordination, content & media, or starting a chapter in your state. Your email goes straight to the project team. We use it only to contact you about the project, never sell or share it, and delete it on request.

The standard you are joining

• Peaceful and lawful conduct, always. No threats, no harassment, no encouragement of confrontation.
• No doxxing - we never publish private personal information about anyone, including officials and camera-program supporters.
• Facts get verified before they get repeated. When unsure, say "unverified."
• Cross-partisan respect: people join this project from every political direction, and it stays that way.
