Mission

We are a grassroots collective of citizens working together to dismantle state-enabled AI-powered mass surveillance technology in Saint Paul, Minnesota through awareness, education, and civic engagement.

Vision

We envision a city that builds safety through connecting and building relationships between neighbors — not by connecting technology and building systems of AI-powered mass surveillance.

Values / Beliefs

We believe safety and security are achieved by:

• Building human connections and relationships with neighbors and across neighborhoods
• Investing in shared public spaces, and community resources
• Meeting every Saint Paulite’s basic needs for housing, food, healthcare, and education

Goals

Cancel all current and future planned city contracts for all AI-powered mass surveillance technology.

Enact policies and ordinances that prevent the city from collecting or obtaining AI-powered mass surveillance data.

Strategy

Awareness: Build recognition through media / social media coverage and by partnering with local community groups and nonprofits to amplify our campaign by tabling, cross-posting, flyering, and/or handouts.

Education: Inform and educate citizens on the current state of AI-powered mass surveillance technology in Saint Paul through printed materials, community engagement meetings/discussions and/or panels.

Civic engagement: Provide the tools for citizens to engage with decision-maker actions through email, phone, public comments, and/or public meetings.
