California made a promise to immigrant communities when it passed AB 60: that personal DMV information would be protected and used only for limited purposes. Now, California is considering joining the AAMVA State-to-State system, a national database that raises serious concerns about how DMV records could be shared, accessed, and used beyond what communities were originally promised.
Join Bay Resistance and community partners as we call on state leaders to protect the privacy of Californians, especially immigrant and trans communities, and demand transparency before any expansion of DMV data sharing moves forward.
We are gathering to ask critical questions:
Who will have access to Californians' data?
What safeguards exist to prevent misuse?
What accountability measures are in place if information is improperly accessed?
How will California uphold its commitments to the communities that trusted the state with their information?
Together, we will send a clear message: California must protect our communities, honor its promises, and keep sensitive DMV records out of the hands of agencies that could use them to target vulnerable people.
