During the Week of Action, which is from August 16-22, thousands of people in cities across the country will participate in a variety of public meetings, townhalls, and other events intended to raise awareness about the use of ALPRs in their communities, the harms of these cameras, and how we can work together to end their use.

Oh, so it's a week of inaction...

I'll be honest I also assumed direct action instead of awareness campaign

I mean listen, awareness campaign and getting local officials out either commiting to being against or outing themselves as defenders of this stuff (just before many elections) is useful, it's just harder to call it "action" lol
