The People Power Hour is a monthly radio show on KKFI, Kansas City Community Radio, 90.1 FM in Kansas City. We host leaders with KC Tenants and other tenant unions and allies across the country to analyze, inform, and inspire listeners about the power of tenant unions in America.

In this episode, we examine the growing use of surveillance technology, where it's expanding, and what it means for privacy and our communities.
