This Tuesday, January 14, the Social Action Committee of Temple B'nai Brith present a talk

IT’S NOT JUST THE NSA:
Big Brother, Little Brother
and the Private Spies Who are Destroying Your Privacy

by Kade Crockford, the director of the ACLU's Technology for Liberty Initiative

The talk takes place Tuesday at 7:30 pm at Temple B'nai Brith, 201 Central Street in Somerville (just off Broadway).


Thanks to Edward Snowden, our country is having its first real debate about the vast and growing
surveillance state erected in the shadows of 9/11. But it isn't just the NSA. Increasingly, our state and
local police departments are also collecting enormous amounts of data about every single one of us:
where we go, what we buy, who we talk to and when, how we use the internet -- often without
warrants or any judicial oversight. And anytime you follow the money -- whether at the state and
local or federal level -- you'll find thousands of increasingly powerful if largely unknown
corporations that are profiting off of our information. Can democracy survive in a surveillance
society? If not, what can we do about it?

Kade Crockford, director of the Technology for Liberty initiative at the ACLU of Massachusetts will
address these issues and tell you how you can get involved to stop warrantless surveillance in the
Commonwealth and nationwide.

Kade blogs at privacysos.org/blog and has written for The Nation,
The Guardian, TruthOut, and the Boston Globe.
