Stop LAPD Spying Coalition

Formed in 2011, the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is led by community members from diverse backgrounds, including youth, formerly incarcerated people, academics, undocumented immigrants, unhoused people, artists, community groups, and many more. Our organizing model is centered in the stolen Tongva territory called Los Angeles, but with regional, national, and international implications.

We organize to expose the structure and function of police violence, and end the adoption of counterterrorism and counter-insurgency tactics in local policing. Police violate our human rights, undermine movements for social change, and impact our structural, economic, and cultural lives. Our goal is the abolition of policing and surveillance.
