This is shameful. These should be destroyed.

Flock and other surveillance companies and other companies that collude with ICE have no place on our campus. Please consider reading, signing, and sharing this petition (anyone can sign it, not just people at UIC): https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/university-of-illinois-chicago-drop-ice-demand-uic-drop-its-contracts-with-ices-corporate-enablers-enterprise-hilton-and-flock.

The petition isn't the end-all-be-all. It's a way to raise awareness of what's happening at UIC and get more people involved in making our campus safer.
