Surveillance Technology Oversight Project

Mission Statement

S.T.O.P. litigates and advocates for privacy, working to abolish local governments’ systems of mass surveillance. Our work highlights the discriminatory impact of surveillance on Muslim Americans, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, indigenous peoples, and communities of color, particularly the unique trauma of anti-Black policing.

Why Donate to Surveillance Technology Oversight Project ?

Every day, S.T.O.P.’s staff fights back against the ever-growing surveillance state and to protect civil rights, but our work is only possible with your contributions. Every bill we write, every workshop we hold, and every lawsuit we file against the NYPD are only possible with support from donors like you. Whether it’s donating $400 to cover the cost of filing a new civil rights suit, donating $4,000 to cover the cost of a research report, or even just $4, your generosity will not just amplify our work, it will help defend the very fabric of our democracy. Please donate whatever you can today.
