Hi Max,
Kairos is bringing heat and peeling back the curtain as tech companies aim
to bulldoze our rights to privacy and safety in the digital realm. Read on
to see what the team has been up to with your help!
*With a focus on tech and racial justice, we’re holding the popular Citizen
App accountable for spreading fear and fueling racist policing.*
* <https://act.kairosfellows.org/go/3595?t=20&akid=499%2E27716%2E0r04LE>*
See our recent op-ed in FastCompany: False arrest, racial profiling: Why
the Citizen app is a threat to vulnerable communities
<https://act.kairosfellows.org/go/3595?t=21&akid=499%2E27716%2E0r04LE>.
*If you haven’t already, sign the petition to kick Citizen out of the Apple
App Store.

They did it once when Citizen was named Vigilante and they can do it again.*
*Tech & Policing: 1 Year Later *
<https://act.kairosfellows.org/go/3596?t=23&akid=499%2E27716%2E0r04LE>
To mark the one-year anniversary of the police killing of George Floyd,
Kairos brought together a panel of experts from Data for Black Lives, the
ACLU, ACRE, and Fight for the Future to talk about the relationship between
technology and policing. Attended by journalists, racial justice activists,
and tech accountability allies, we facilitated a much-needed conversation
on the growing role that tech plays in biased and racist policing.

*Keeping the pressure on Facebook ...*

We’re holding Mark Zuckerberg accountable. He pledged to stop
misinformation from spreading about COVID-19 on Facebook. Yet right-wing
extremists are *still* spewing anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and putting
everyone’s health in danger.
*Sign our petition to pressure Zuckerberg to stop the spread of vaccine
disinformation.*

*Tackling Disinformation*
Kairos is training 40 organizers from 26 organizations from over a dozen
states (see below!) to fight disinformation in the digital realm. From July
through October, Kairos will train primarily Black and brown organizers in
digital skills that will help stop the onslaught of disinformation that is
endangering our communities.
*Thanks to your partnership, we’ve leveled up our work in tech
accountability, racial justice, and democracy.* *If you can, make a
donation today to help support this important work by clicking here.*
