Please heed this. When attorneys like me give this advice, we're not insinuating you've done something wrong. The most common response I get when giving legal advice around police or FBI/fed visits is, "well, I have nothing to hide." It's not you we don't trust. It's the police.
Muslims, always remember that when the the government or law enforcement wants to talk you, and someone with influence suggests you shouldn’t retain an attorney, they’re either with gov’t or law enforcement, or in their pocket. Doesn’t matter if they’re Muslim. They often are.
Supervisors @D4GordonMar, @myrnamelgar, @RafaelMandelman, we're counting on you! Heavy, invasive live surveillance threatens the culture of activism that we love about San Francisco. We deserve to celebrate and march without any limitations on our First Amendment rights.
Tomorrow (9/20), the SF Board of Supervisors is expected to consider SFPD’s surveillance policy, which would give police new powers to spy on San Francisco residents while we commute to work, visit healthcare providers, attend religious services, and more.
For weeks, SF community members and civil rights advocates have been reaching out to the Mayor and Board of Supervisors to share our concerns. There's still time to raise your voice and call on supervisors to oppose SFPD's unchecked surveillance.
Come to @SundayStreets in the Western Addition this Sunday, from 11am-4pm! We'll be out on Fillmore Street and ready to chat about getting out the vote this Nov. and how we can all help SF families and neighbors know our rights at work, in community spaces, and more.
.@SundayStreets is coming to the Western Addition, SF on Sunday 9/18 from 11a-4p! Enjoy live music, food vendors & more! It's a free, fun event transforming miles of streets into car-free community spaces. #SundayStreets ihr.fm/3SPcOZQ

Welcome home, Lee ❤️ In May, Hmong refugee Yeng Lee was exonerated after serving over 23 yrs for a crime he did not commit. Despite ICE's threats, he's coming home to Sacramento today! We need the #VISIONAct to bring home more Californians like Lee! 📰 bit.ly/yenglee722
In our latest blog, @GKusakawa of @AAAJ_AAJC & @hammadjd of @aaaj_alc share the chilling parallels of government racial profiling against Chinese American & AMEMSA communities under the pretext of national security. Read full blog here: bit.ly/end-profiling
Highlighting some of the amazing work ALC's NSCR has done since its inception, including severing local connections with the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force and protecting communities from FBI and law enforcement harassment and surveillance.
In October 2020, ALC & community members across the East Bay came together in celebration– Oakland City Council voted unanimously to end Oakland PD’s partnership w/the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. We reflected on this victory & the lessons learned. advancingjustice-alc.org/news-resources…

Read the No Muslim Ban Ever Campaign's letter to the president, signed by over 100 organizations and outlining specific steps the administration can take now, here: nomuslimbanever.com/sign-on-letter
More than a year since Biden repealed the Muslim Ban, families still have little clarity and, day by day, little hope left. We need more than just the repeal. Thanks @alex__mar for your coverage. prismreports.org/2022/02/21/the…
Muslim Americans say nothing has been done to mitigate the damage, loss, and separation caused by the ban @hammadjd @ashahshahani prismreports.org/2022/02/21/the…
NEW: There still isn’t a roadmap to family reunification one year after repealing the Muslim Ban. Advocates and Muslim Americans say nothing has been done to mitigate the damage, loss, and separation caused by the ban. prismreports.org/2022/02/21/the…
We are one of 36 to submit a letter on Feb. 10 to the @sfbos supporting the Board’s efforts to protect our city’s Surveillance Technology Ordinance & sharing serious concerns with Mayor @LondonBreed measure to undo it. Add your name in support: action.aclu.org/send-message/c…
The ACLU is unequivocal in our opposition to @LondonBreed's plan to gut San Francisco's surveillance oversight law. And we're not alone. 36 organizations, both local and national, have joined forces to stop it.
