Who We Are
The COS-DC Coalition
Our Mission
The COS-DC Coalition works to ensure that DC communities, especially Black people and others most impacted by surveillance, have a say in what and how surveillance technology is acquired and used in the District. The COS-DC Coalition centers racial justice in our long-term efforts to end the invasive, unlawful, and/or unchecked surveillance of DC communities by District agencies, including local law enforcement.
