Stop Warrantless Wiretapping of Americans

ADD YOUR NAME

Mother Jones Reader,

Congress may be days away from renewing a surveillance power that lets the government search Americans’ private communications without a warrant.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was supposed to target foreign threats overseas. But when Americans communicate with people abroad, their emails, texts, and calls can be swept into government databases too. Then agencies can search that data for Americans’ messages without first going to a judge.

That is a direct threat to Americans' privacy – and Congress needs to put a stop to it now.

Tell Congress: "Do not renew Section 702 unless it includes a real warrant requirement for searches of Americans’ communications." Click here to sign the petition.

Donald Trump has been pushing Congress to renew this surveillance authority, and we cannot trust this kind of power in his hands. A president who has repeatedly threatened political opponents, journalists, protesters, and immigrants should not be handed expanded access to Americans’ private communications without a warrant.

National security does not require abandoning the Constitution. The government can monitor foreign targets while still getting a warrant before searching for Americans’ private messages.

If Congress renews Section 702 without reform, it will give Trump — and every future president — more power to search through Americans’ communications without probable cause, judicial approval, or meaningful accountability.

That should alarm everyone, no matter their party. Protesters, journalists, political opponents, immigrants, activists, and ordinary people communicating with family or colleagues abroad all deserve basic privacy protections.

Add your name now and demand Congress stop warrantless wiretapping of Americans before this deadline passes.

Thanks for everything you do.
