Goal
Lucy Parsons Labs is hosting a Halloween livestream that is open to the public as we talk about the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and play Fortnite Battle Royale. We have previously used public records laws to expose warrantless police surveillance, a secret police budget, and the controversial tactic of doxxing antifascists by Berkeley Police. Our grassroots volunteers donate their time to expose corruption and to inform the public; we need your help to raise $1,000 to continue our work.
On Saturday October 26th 2019, we will be hosting a livestream on Twitch playing Fortnite and talking about FOIA. We will talk about our ongoing lawsuits such as our complaint against the FBI for hiding records related to Jon Burge, an infamous torturer. We will highlight some of our data visualization work like our records of every search warrant executed over the last five years in Chicago. If we raise over $750 dollars, we may preview an upcoming story that LPL is writing about some previously unreleased police documents.
Along the way we will be cranking 90s, pressuring walls, pushing n00bs, splitting minis and working with our squad to catch the dub (Win). We have some very special experts on FOIA who will be joining the stream. Also joining the broadcast will be experienced Fortnite gamers to help our public records advocates.
We will have some running commentary about public records and expect to stream for several hours.
Date: Saturday October 26th, 2019.
Time: 2pm to 6pm EST. (11-3pm PST)
Squad will include:
Freddy Martinez (Director, Lucy Parsons Labs and FOIA expert)
Dave Maass (Senior Investigative Researcher)
Blaise Sewell (Game Designer and Fortnite expert)
Jen Helsby (Open Source Software developer)
Amelia (Security engineer, Researcher, Fortnite amateur)
Thanks and see you on the battle bus,
