This policy will create the transparency and accountabil ity processes for use and purchase of surveillance technologies. It will also define roles and responsibilities for decision making\, oversight\ , and implementing aspects of this policy. \;\n \;\nThe Smart City PDX program and the Office of Equity and Human Rights are coordinating policy development actions\, including policy drafting\, City of Portlan d agencies coordination\, and public engagement. \;\n \;\nThese po licies need to be informed by those most impacted. Negative impacts of s urveillance technologies are disproportionately experienced by Black\, I ndigenous\, and People of Color communities. Abuses derived from surveil lance technologies can endanger people’s freedoms\, civil rights\, and l iberties. \;\n \;\nExisting Portland policies define surveillance technologies as any software\, electronic device\, system utilizing an e lectronic device\, or similar used\, designed\, or primarily intended to collect\, retain\, analyze\, process\, or share audio\, electronic\, vi sual\, location\, thermal\, olfactory\, biometric\, or similar informati on specifically associated with\, or capable of being associated with\, any individual or group. \;\n \;\nThis definition covers certain s urveillance technologies\; however\, emergent technologies\, including a rtificial intelligence and predictive inference algorithms\, are not nec essarily covered by this definition. The City is exploring an updated de finition of surveillance technologies that includes these new and emerge nt information technologies. \;\n \;\nRead more about the policy r oadmap and engagement plan here: \;\nhttps://www.smartcitypdx.com/new s/2021/8/11/the-city-of-portland-starts-the-work-developing-its-surveill ance-policy \;\n\n\nTags: pdx\, surveillance\, Smart City PDX\, ta3m\ , Cascadia Partners\, Office of Equity and Human Rights\, PDX Privacy\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250478013 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/events/2 82416108/ SUMMARY:Surveillance technologies policy development codesign event LOCATION:Online: placeholder for on-line events\, SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220107T174115Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220118T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220118T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220107T174115Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220107T174115Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250478043 DESCRIPTION:***NOTE: this meeting is on the 3rd TUESDAY because of the Ma rtin Luther King\, Jr. holiday on Monday!*** \;\n \;\nThe 2020s ha ve seen new and complex challenges for those fighting for reproductive f reedom. In September of last year\, the Texas legislature passed one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the nation\, prohibiting all proce dures after 6 weeks\, without exceptions for rape or incest. But SB8 goe s further\, giving citizens with no connection to the woman the right to sue in civil court any person who aids her in seeking an abortion. As P lanned Parenthood states\, this means that “private citizens can sue oth er Texans for having or aiding in the procurement of an abortion — they can sue anyone from the person who drives the patient to the clinic to t he doctor who performs the abortion.” (https://www.plannedparenthoodacti on.org/planned-parenthood-pennsylvania-advocates/blog/how-did-texas-get- to-sb8) As the EFF predicts\, “The result will be a chilling effect on s peech and a litigation cudgel that will be used to silence those who see k to give women truthful information about their reproductive options.”& #13\;\n \;\nSince 2017\, the Digital Defense Fund has brought enginee rs and organizers together to provide security and technology support fo r the abortion access movement. Kate Bertash\, Director of the DDF\, wil l speak during our January event about the critical work the DDF does to create "\;a future where technology and innovation support secure\, autonomous reproductive decisions\, free from stigma.” \;\n \;\nS peaker bio: \;\n \;\nKate Bertash (she/her) is Director of the Dig ital Defense Fund\, a team providing technology and security resources a nd front-line support to the American abortion access movement. She brin gs together a background in nonprofit fundraising and technology\, and l eft startup life after co-organizing the Abortion Access Hackathons and Debug Politics Hackathons.
