Privacy Campaign: The Day We Fight Back, February 11, 2014



An organization called Access Now is planning an online protest against intrusive government surveillance. The protest is planned for February 11, and is called "The Day We Fight Back". From their website:

"Together we will push back against powers that seek to observe, collect, and analyze our every digital action. Together, we will make it clear that such behavior is not compatible with democratic governance. And if we persist, eventually win this fight, together."

On February 11, Americans will ask legislators to oppose the FISA Improvements Act, support the USA Freedom Act, and enact protections for non-Americans.  Thousands of website will place banner ads on their pages asking people to join in the effort.  Grassroots protests like this have worked in the past against censorship/surveillance oriented bills such as SOPA and PIPA.

Their website is located here. Please check it out, sign up and participate on February 11 to help protect your privacy.
