#HeyGoogle, you said you’d delete location data for health care visits, like abortion care. But @accountabletech found you’re still retaining this data.

Join us in telling Google to stop collecting & retaining location data & aiding abortion prosecutors: coc.is/42G1fIf Image
At COC, we've also been advocating for these protections for a while.

In 2021, when anti-abortion extremists launched TX SB8, which provided a financial incentive for private citizens to become abortion bounty hunters, we said no.

After the overturning of Roe/Dobbs, we quickly sprung into action, and joined the fight by demanding tech companies stop being accomplices to the criminalization of certain pregnancy outcomes.

The lack of data privacy protections disproportionately hurts those most impacted by systemic and historical oppression – including Black people and people of color, working-class folks, and LGBTQ+ people.

Today, COC is launching our #BreakUpBigTech campaign. With all of the recent @Facebook news, it’s urgent #Congress pass #antitrust reform.

An outage at 1 company shouldn't knock out 3 of the largest social platforms. #BigTech monopolies put economic justice at risk. A thread 🧵
Without #antitrust regulation, #tech giants like @Google, @Facebook, @Amazon, & @Apple allow the civil rights of Black people to be violated. Corporations use surveillance networks that span across the #Internet to collect information about you that's sold to advertisers.
Advertisers run targeted ads & online marketplaces. This #data is used to discriminate against Black users, denying us opportunities for employment or home loans.

#BigTech shouldn’t have so much power that they can choose to ignore hate speech & misinfo continue to make profits.

Last night, @atlcouncil voted YES on plans to raze Atlanta Forest to build a $90MM cop training facility. 70% of the public opposed the plan.

The fight to #StopCopCity isn’t over. But this isn’t the 1st time @atlpolicefdn used backroom deals to expand violent policing. A thread:
Founded in 2003, Atlanta Police Foundation (@atlpolicefdn) is a private, corporate-sponsored organization. Behind closed doors, police foundations and their corporate sponsors privately fund the ongoing militarization & expansion of policing, targeting BIPOC communities. #gapol
.@atlpolicefdn is no exception. The pro-police group reported $7 million dollars in revenue in 2018, and nearly $11 million in 2019, a 45% increase. This private $$$ is used to supplement APD's massive budget with little to no public accountability, transparency, or oversight.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott just signed a racist voter suppression bill into law. Texas may have been the epicenter of harmful legislation this past week, but it isn't the only state passing dangerous laws that disproportionately affect Black people.
We’re seeing this happen across the country. Following the 2020 election, 14 states have already passed laws that have shortened the window for absentee voting, restricted the eligibility of early voting, or made it easier to contest the results of election.
The U.S. Senate has the power to pass federal bills that protect abortion access and the right to vote, but Republicans are using the filibuster to block Congress from acting. Senate Democrats have the power to reform the filibuster but, for some reason, not all are on board.

40 years ago, Mumia Abu-Jamal was sentenced to life in prison after an unjust trial, including evidence of misconduct committed by police investigators and the DA’s office against him.
Now, he is awaiting heart surgery – but dangerous treatment, including the barbaric act of shackling prisoners onto the hospital bed, is threatening his life.
As Mumia is elderly and not a threat, and deserves to be well cared for while he recovers from his health concerns.

As more stories come out of Brooklyn Center, one critical detail has been buried in the coverage: Kim Potter, the police officer who murdered Daunte Wright, was also involved in helping fellow officers cover up the murder of Kobe-Dimock Heisler in 2019. newsweek.com/daunte-wright-…
Potter was the police union president at the time, and one of the first officers to arrive on the scene. Kobe Dimock-Heisler, who was on the autism spectrum, was shot by police 6 times. Potter counseled the officers so no criminal charges were filed. facebook.com/watch/?v=73528…
Kim Potter is not one bad apple. Police unions use contracts & legislation to avoid accountability and condone state-sanctioned violence. That’s why we’ve studied their tactics, and we’re ready to expose how police unions harm our communities: policeunionplaybook.com

For some reason @LeaderMcConnell thinks the filibuster has no racist history. Here are some of the times the #JimCrowFilibuster has been used by racist senators in the past. (Thread)
The filibuster was first used by John C. Calhoun, a racist senator who believed that the institution of slavery was a “positive good”. He used the filibuster to delay bills that threatened the power of slave states, including the establishment of Oregon as a free state.
In 1922, racist senators used the #JimCrowFilibuster to block a bill that would have punished law enforcement leaders and elected officials who allowed lynchings to take place in their states. This wouldn’t be the last time a filibuster blocked anti-lynching legislation.
