The campaign to get Flock cameras out of Santa Cruz County
We are looking for people to help us Get The Flock Out of the cities of Capitola and Watsonville; we hope for a repeat of our City of Santa Cruz success.
Please fill out the web form at the bottom of this web page to join our campaign as a supporter and receive email updates.
If you are a resident of Capitola or Watsonville and you want to help organize with us, please also send an email to gtfoscc@proton.me.
We have been getting many calls from organizations across the country wanting to talk to us about our success in Santa Cruz City. Please email us at gtfoscc@proton.me and someone will get back to you.
Read our Action Toolkit, learn about the issue, and then contact your City Council. For Capitola, we link to a new, shorter letter for you to copy/paste (plus the number to call Capitola city council!).
There are 5 jurisdictions in our County:
City of Watsonville - There are currently a total of 37 (!) Flock surveillance cameras in Watsonville.
City of Capitola - has 10 cameras.
City of Santa Cruz - all Flock cameras were removed as of March 13, 2026.
City of Scotts Valley - no Flock cameras.
County of Santa Cruz - no Flock cameras. We will continue to work with the Board of Supervisors and the Sheriff to ensure that none are installed.
In addition, we also aim to identify Flock surveillance cameras installed at private businesses (the Home Depot on 41st Ave has three!) and by Homeowners Associations (HOAs). See the Camera Locations tab.
Fill out the form below to sign up to be on our email list. Stay informed of our local campaign and receive calls to action.
NOTE: This campaign is entirely grassroots, and it has really taken wing! Our apologies if your name doesn't appear on our Supporters List very quickly. A volunteer will add it as soon as they can.
Email us at gtfoscc@proton.me with questions or anything urgent.
