Protecting Our Crowns: Sadia Kabeya’s Satin Scrum Cap Is Changing the Game

Posted byblam UKApril 18, 2025April 18, 2025Posted inblog, Opinion
Black history is British history. So why do we keep stopping at England? 👀 The Met is planning to expand its use of police drones across every London borough. But what does the growing use of drones and other digital surveillance technologies mean for our rights and privacy? BLACK HISTORY HAS A GROUP CHAT. 🖤 At our Eyes on Our Streets event, we asked members of the community what they think about the growing use of facial recognition and surveillance technologies. 129 years ago today, the African Association was founded in London; helping build one of the earliest international networks connecting people of African descent across borders. At our ‘Eyes on Our Streets’ event, we asked Shaun Thompson, founder of @stopandsearchonsteroids what alternative approaches to traditional policing could help keep Black communities safe. September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month but awareness alone cannot provide the blood people need. WATCHED BY TECH. HEARD BY WHO? 👁️ More cameras. More questions. Black communities deserve answers.
