1/4 We are deeply disappointed that the Seattle City Council voted 7-2 to prioritize surveillance expansion over the safety and trust of our Seattlelites despite three hours of testimony in overwhelming opposition from over 100 community members.

Trigger Warning: Suicide 1/2 On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay (9/10), we remember that suicide in immigration detention is not inevitable—it’s preventable. Detention isolates community members and puts their lives at deadly risk—that’s why deportation defense is suicide prevention.

Seattle wants to expand a massive surveillance network, adding to the increasing use of data sharing at the state level that has targeted immigrants. Join WAISN to give a public comment and speak out Sept 9 at 2 p.m. 🗣️ tinyurl.com/stop-cctv #WAISN #StopSurveillanceCity
