Voting systems need to be accessible to ALL voters — including voters with disabilities. Voting rights are disability rights. https://t.co/wIC15fK9Fd — PolitiTweet.org

Lawmakers need to immediately stop allowing and funding law enforcement use of face recognition technology, which only automates and worsens racist policing. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The federal government wants to make witnesses, staff, and religious officials put their lives on the line during a pandemic — all to restart federal executions for the first time in 17 years. Tell Attorney General Barr: Nobody wants this. https://t.co/69fqGFdpP3 — PolitiTweet.org

As Michael Flynn walks free today, remember that hundreds of thousands of people are in jail right now just because they can’t afford to post bail. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The FBI regularly flies “a small air force” of surveillance aircraft above American cities — including over protest marches. When we talk about divesting from policing, we need to include curbing the wide reach of aerial surveillance. https://t.co/L5jkO6PsS6 — PolitiTweet.org

Face recognition has been found to be error-prone and racially-biased against people of color. It shouldn't be in the hands of law enforcement. Let's put a stop to this. Help us urge Congress to act now: https://t.co/zjcdwc0Mnr — PolitiTweet.org

Face recognition technology is dangerous when it's wrong AND when it's right. We don't want cops showing up at your house because an algorithm got it wrong, but we also don't want a perfectly accurate algorithm identifying you at a protest the government doesn't like. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Our message to Congress is clear: The time for piecemeal reforms to our broken criminal legal system is over. https://t.co/pCh7kS8Ssr — PolitiTweet.org

Elijah McClain should still be alive today. — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Williams was arrested for a crime he did not commit after he was incorrectly identified by face recognition technology. He was not the first and — until we stop the spread of this dangerous tech — he won’t be the last. https://t.co/6MEOdPVD4J — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: Boston just became the largest city on the East Coast to ban face surveillance. — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: The judge just ruled that the administration CANNOT deport our 16 year old client while our case continues. We won’t stop fighting to protect children and asylum seekers. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

It is far past time for Congress to reimagine a limited role for police in our country, implement changes that will save lives, and create the conditions to start repairing generations of harm and violence inflicted on over-policed communities of color. https://t.co/YjxfWvKKwg — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

To fix policing, we also require the demilitarization of law enforcement agencies. We must end the Defense 1033 program. https://t.co/F4vk63vfeq — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We need to see the complete elimination of the doctrine of qualified immunity, which allows officers and other government actors to avoid accountability when they violate people's rights. https://t.co/QfXxF339Lm — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We also demand a ban on no-knock warrants, particularly in suspected drug cases, similar to the warrant used by those who killed Breonna Taylor. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Legislation to fix policing in America should include a "reckless" standard that would enable federal prosecutors to hold law enforcement accountable for civil rights violations. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

A comprehensive police misconduct registry should be created, to keep track of misconduct complaints, discipline records, and termination records. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Congress must impose a ban on racial profiling in law enforcement. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Legislative proposals MUST ban the use of chokeholds and knee to neck holds. https://t.co/0H2wwxdFzn — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Legislative solutions to policing must institute a new federal use of force standard that permits use of force as the very last, rarely needed resort. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Legislation to fix policing in America must not propose new money for law enforcement. We need to divest from policing and put that money elsewhere. https://t.co/uWcWJCiL4f — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The JUSTICE Act in the Senate is profoundly flawed and fails to address a system of policing rotten at its very core. In the House, the Justice in Policing Act is a solid step but needs some work. Let's talk about what a bill to adequately address policing must look like. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

While the Trump administration has made it clear that they are not willing to take the steps necessary to fix our broken system of policing, Congress is in the midst of a heated debate on what a legislative fix to policing should look like. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Recent public outcry around the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and countless other Black people at the hands of police makes one thing abundantly clear: The people are demanding that our nation completely rethink our system of policing. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We’re in court today to fight for a 16-year-old Honduran boy’s right to seek asylum in the United States. We will not allow the Trump administration to exploit a public health crisis to achieve its anti-immigrant agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

To successfully address police abuses, we must address the technology that exacerbates these abuses.  When you add a racist and broken technology to a racist and broken criminal legal system, you get racist and broken outcomes. — PolitiTweet.org
