Hey Team –
Our pressure is working. Nearly 70 local, state, and national organizations joined us in demanding that state governments with Democratic trifectas pass legislation to protect our privacy and safety, online and off. With your help, we’ve sent nearly 32,000 letters and calls to our elected officials all over the country urging them to act. Now, it’s time to turn up the heat.
We’re building a campaign that states can’t ignore: We’re connecting with lawmakers directly and broadcasting the need to stop Big Tech’s surveillance NOW. To increase our impact and make sure lawmakers get the message, we need to make a splash. Donate now to help us make digital safety state laws across the country.
DONATE NOW
Accountable Tech is already meeting with lawmakers all over the US to put these plans into motion. We’ve worked with state lawmakers in Washington who read our letter and are already moving a bill addressing our digital safety, which has passed in the Senate. [1] This is exciting, but we can’t afford to wait for the other states to come around.
Help us make digital privacy and safety a priority when it matters most: Right now. With Big Tech’s history of handing over user data to the government [2], and the current oligarchy working to destroy our democracy at Trump’s request [3], there has never been a more important time to put protections in place to cement our rights and protect against attacks from the current administration.
Give today to fuel our fight driving lawmakers to protect our data and privacy NOW.
In solidarity,
Nicole Gill
Co-founder and Executive Director
