Can the police make me delete a video off my phone of an interaction with them? |
|
|
Hey Change Maker, great question! No, the police can not legally stop you from recording or ask you to delete the video from your phone. Under the First Amendment recording a police interaction is freedom of speech and is everyone's right. Keep in mind that this is only allowed when it is not interfering with a police investigation or is invading someone's privacy. This is so both you and the person interacting with the police are kept safe. If you have recorded a video of a police interaction it is well within your rights. Download the Reyets app to have easy access to record and upload police interactions you see in your community. |

🙋🏽♀️ Civil Rights Pioneer Meet Fannie Lou Hamer |
|
|
Fannie Lou Hamer, born in 1917 into a large Mississippi family, worked in cotton fields from age six and left school by twelve. After marrying Perry Hamer, she was fired from the plantation in 1962 for attending a program for voter registration. Hamer faced arrest and brutal beatings in 1963 when challenging segregation, which caused her lasting injuries. A key figure in the Civil Rights Movement, she co-founded the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party in 1964 to fight black voter suppression. Her televised speech that summer demanded integrated state delegations. Disillusioned with politics, Hamer started the Freedom Farm Cooperative, securing land and building homes and grocery stores for black families. Even as her health waned, resulting in the FFC's closure, the houses she established remain in Ruleville. Throughout the '50s and '60s, Hamer combated racial injustice, advocating for voting rights, and addressing food and housing insecurity. |

Move For Hunger is a nonprofit organization that was established in 2009 by Adam Lowry. Drawing inspiration from his experiences working for his father's moving company, Lowry observed the substantial amount of food that is wasted during moves. Inspired to reduce waste, he created a distinctive moving service dedicated to collecting and donating excess food to individuals in need within the local community. Through its efforts, Move For Hunger seeks to tackle the dual issues of food waste and insecurity by empowering Americans to play a role in building a more sustainable future for all.
