IOWA CITY — What is the role of surveillance in a democratic society? Join ACLU of Iowa representatives for a deep dive into how state and local governments are surveilling their own residents, often without their consent. We’ll talk about privacy rights, surveillance technology Iowa governments have adopted in recent years, legitimate concerns about this technology, and what we can do to push for change.

The League of Women Voters of Johnson County; Iowa City Public Library; and University of Iowa Center for Human Rights are co-sponsoring a presentation by Becca Eastwood, Deputy Policy Director with the ACLU of Iowa and Erica Dubin-Barz, Community Engagement Manager, ACLU of Iowa Thursday, October 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Iowa City Public Library (123 S. Linn St., Meeting Room A).

A Q&A session will be held after the speakers’ presentation.

The event will be live-streamed at https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel and post event recordings will be available on www.lwvjc.org and https://www.icpl.org/video.
