About the CPC
Founded in the wake of the 2020 Black Lives Matter demonstrations, the Citizens Privacy Coalition (CPC) exists to watch the watchers and empower the people of the Bay Area. We accomplish this using the following methods:
Investigate
We probe city and county government offices through public records requests to determine techniques and funding behind surveillance efforts.
Legislate
We assist government officials in the drafting and passing laws that promote oversight and transparency into surveillance tactics and spending.
Educate
We train activists, journalists, and the public — especially members of under represented communities — in anti-surveillance techniques.
