We are Lucy
Parsons Labs

LPL explores technology's role in creating harm, and counters it through investigations, litigation, and education.

Mission

Lucy Parsons Labs is committed to challenging the harms created in our society by technology. Our methods integrates education, investigative journalism, and legal advocacy to confront systemic injustices. We are dedicated to promoting accountability and leveraging our expertise to transform technology into a force for positive change, protecting the rights of the most vulnerable from exploitation.

Impacted Communities

We challenge the aggressive surveillance and technological control targeting Black, brown, and low-income communities. We arm these groups with the necessary tools to defend our rights through educational efforts, pressuring oppressive governments, and sharp journalism. These communities endure extreme breaches of our privacy and autonomy, and we are steadfast in our defense of our freedoms.

Our Commitment

We relentlessly expose  surveillance overreach by governments and corporations. We dive deep into the dystopian world of surveillance tech, revealing its impacts on our communities and the erosion of our freedoms. Join us as we uncover and resist these invasive practices.

What people are saying...

LPL’s involvement in the Stop ShotSpotter Coalition has taught me about the importance of looking at the broader picture of surveillance beyond our campaign's focused on a single vendor. They’ve also taught me how to engage with elected officials in a way that  brings our community concerns directly to them in a way that's uncompromising and builds power in a grassroots, bottom-up approach.
