§04Act — Six Things That Have Already Worked
You don't need a law degree.
You need an afternoon.
Every cancelled contract on the resistance list started with two or three residents at a council meeting. Here's the proven sequence — from mapping cameras to funding the appeals.
02
FOIA your city's audit logs.
Templates from the ACLU and EFF make it a fifteen-minute task. Search reasons, query counts, and federal access toggles are all discoverable. HaveIBeenFlocked.com publishes redaction-free archives.
03
Show up at the next council vote.
Berkeley delayed its vote past 1 a.m. after enough residents testified. Olympia's contract died after a 200-person rally. Two minutes at a podium has cancelled contracts in 30+ cities.
04
Push your state legislature.
WA SB 6002 and VA HB 2724 are working models. Demand: 21-day retention max, immigration-enforcement ban, no cameras near schools or clinics, criminal penalties for violations, and a private right of action.
05
Fund the litigation.
The Institute for Justice's appeal in Schmidt is the case to watch. Milberg's California class action could reshape vendor liability nationwide. Both depend on donors and class members.
06
Join — or start — a local chapter.
DeFlock chapters now exist in 15+ cities. Eyes Off Eugene-Springfield, the TRUST Coalition (San Diego), Birmingham's 400-signature petition campaign — every cancelled contract started with two or three people.
