On Wednesday, March 22, Kade Crockford, Director of Technology for Liberty at the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (ACLUM), will be the featured speaker for a meeting of Walpole Democrats at the Walpole Public Library at 7:30 PM. The future of our civil liberties is a major concern under the Trump administration. Ms. Crockford is an expert on privacy issues. She will be talking about bills pending in the Massachusetts legislature and the urgency of securing our rights at the state and local level, given the authoritarian views of the incoming national administration.
As Director of Technology for Liberty, Ms. Crockford works to protect and expand core First and Fourth Amendment rights and civil liberties in the digital 21st century, focusing on how systems of surveillance and control impact not just the society in general but their primary targets—people of color, Muslims, immigrants, and dissidents. She has written for The Nation, The Guardian, The Boston Globe, WBUR, and many other publications, and regularly appears in local, regional, and national media as an expert on issues related to technology, policing, and surveillance.
The meeting will be in the Community Room at the Walpole Public Library, 143 School Street. Coffee will be available. To learn more about the ACLU, visit aclum.org. To learn more about the ACLU’s privacy work, visit privacysos.org.
