They're trying to sneak it in the backdoor tomorrow morning!
![The City of Oakland is seeking a waiver to move the Flock proposal forward despite its defeat last night. The matter has been agendized at tomorrow’s meeting of the Rules and Legislation Committee, Thursday November 20, at 10:30am, City Hall (meeting details).
We need as many community members as possible to show up and call out this flagrant overreach. Unfortunately, because the agenda was posted less than 24 hours before the meeting, the window for e-comments has already closed.
If you cannot go to the meeting, please email the members of the Rules and Legislation Committee, copying the City Clerk so that it will go on public record. Contact information and sample language below. Please spread the word!
SAMPLE E-MAIL AND TALKING POINTS
Subject: Reject the overreach of the Flock proposal and open public comment
Dear [Councilmember's name],
I am writing to express my outrage over the attempt to push through the Flock proposal after its clear defeat at the Public Safety Committee meeting last night. Hundreds of Oakland residents showed up to voice their opposition, and the Privacy Advisory Commission also voted against this proposal. This attempt to bypass the will of your constituents is a flagrant overreach.
I urge you to reject this undemocratic move and stand with the people of Oakland. Additionally, given the last-minute addition of the Flock item to the agenda, I demand that the Rules and Legislation Committee immediately open public comment to all residents wishing to participate via Zoom, without requiring 24 hours' notice.
We must have a fair and transparent process, and that means rejecting this blatant overstep, and allowing all voices to be heard on this critical issue. Thank you for your urgent attention.
Sincerely,
[Your name and district]

Honestly pretty happy with this quote I pulled together moments after learning about the Saturday bombings. I fear it will hold up much better than I'd like.

Yes, and the chance to think through those notes is a big part of how I learn from those meetings. Summarization isn't just shortening, it's a chance to synthesize knowledge for yourself and your team. Outsourcing this can rob you of something really valuable
