Are you okay with the Trump administration scanning through your calls, texts, and emails?

What comes after the House pushed back on Trump and Miller’s surveillance.

Win Without War

Do you want the Trump administration scanning your calls, texts, and emails, Pamela? Didn’t think so.

But since 2008, legal loopholes have allowed the federal government to surveil these electronic communications without a warrant.

Trump and Stephen Miller have been pushing to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allows this surveillance, without ANY privacy protections. Thankfully, a bipartisan majority in the House derailed their renewal attempt — and opened up an unprecedented opportunity to upend an era of warrantless surveillance.

A temporary extension is expiring as soon as Thursday, setting up an urgent fight on Capitol Hill over our constitutional right to privacy. Congress has so far refused to give in to Trump, but as he ramps up the pressure, we need to respond with an overwhelming groundswell of activists demanding NO more spying loopholes.

Tell Congress: Hold the line and block the extension of warrantless surveillance!

ACT NOW

Stephen Miller has long championed the extension of Section 702, and it’s not difficult to see why: In addition to warrantless surveillance of foreigners abroad, a data broker loophole allows government officials to conduct sweeping backdoor searches, accessing the private communications of millions of people at home.

The Brennan Center reports that the FBI has used Section 702 to conduct warrantless surveillance on “Black Lives Matter protestors, U.S. government officials, journalists, political commentators, and 19,000 donors to a single congressional campaign.”[1]

Don’t forget: This attempt to extend FISA is coming right as the Trump administration is pursuing AI tools that stand to supercharge its mass surveillance efforts. Extending this dangerous program means AI-powered surveillance on anyone whom the Trump administration deems to be a threat.

Pamela, we won’t let that happen without a fight.

As debates rage about whether or not to renew Section 702, Trump and Miller have been loud and clear that they want indefinite authority to spy on people. That means we need to speak up too, and make sure lawmakers hear from tens of thousands of activists who say: No More!

Tell your lawmakers to reject the extension of warrantless surveillance and defend our civil liberties.

Thank you for working for peace,
The Win Without War team
