Demand Representatives to Say No to AI Warrantless Mass Surveillance

Call your Representative

The War on Terror-era legislation that authorized decades of civil liberties-eroding mass surveillance is set to expire on April 19. It’s vital Congress let it die.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was passed in 2008 as a counterterrorist measure, but has a long history of abuse from the federal government, especially when it comes to surveillance. This even more dangerous knowing that Stephen Miller wants to deploy AI to supercharge FISA surveillance.

Your Representative has a choice to make: Will they greenlight warrantless AI mass surveillance, or hold the line and reject any effort to move forward without serious privacy guardrails. FISA as it is currently written:

  • Allows warrantless backdoor surveillance of people in and out of the country
  • Offers little to no protections against the administration targeting critics, activists, religious minorities, or communities of color
  • Actively chills our freedoms of speech and association

Two years ago, this reauthorization legislation sailed through Congress with bipartisan support. That can’t happen again. The issue here is fairly wonky, but we have written talking points for you.

Let your Representatives know you expect them to reject reauthorization unless it includes significant reforms to protect our civil liberties against this authoritarian regime.

Here's Your Script:

Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State]. I am calling today to ask that [Representative Name] to demand major reforms to Section 702 of the FISA, and to withhold your vote from reauthorization without reforms. Now more than ever in the era of mass AI, personal privacy and civil liberties must be protected.

Specifically, it is essential that you withhold your vote from reauthorization until the legislation is amended to: 

  • Close the Backdoor Search Loophole
  • Close the Data Broker Loophole

I expect you to hold the line to protect your constituents from unnecessary and warrantless mass surveillance by refusing to reauthorize FISA without reform.
