The U.S. federal government is once again debating whether to extent warrantless surveillance under FISA.
Restore the Fourth has a petition to representatives, asking them to cosponsor reforms that would restore warrant requirements here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/no-to-mass-government-surveillance-cosponsor-plewsagsra
Sharing and signing the petition would be greatly appreciated!
*This week* (through March 20th, 2026) is the time to reach out to U.S. representatives about ending warrantless surveillance under FISA.
In addition to the petition above, there are two further action items:
* Call your representatives to ask for their support
* Finding out your representative's position and reporting back to Restore the Fourth (https://restorethe4th.com/contact-national-chair/)
More information downthread!
If you've signed the petition and have a couple extra minutes, you can also call your representative and ask them to *support* HR 7901 and HR 7816 and to *oppose* suspension.
Example script available here: https://cryptpad.fr/doc/#/2/doc/view/7nwm5n9c8+Mi3gdY98TTDiPW4rhAZYmKUQhbpkuTQPA/
If have time to find out details of your representative's position and to report back, then as a separate call, you can use the script here:
https://cryptpad.fr/doc/#/2/doc/view/wkN4en4R7q4Q2m05veZVT0jtssE6VzXoluvmXqx7s28/
The goal on this second script is to get in touch with the specific staffer who communicates with your rep about this issue and get information from them that you can report back to Restore the Fourth (https://restorethe4th.com/contact-national-chair/).
Feel free to share any of the above links far and wide with any U.S. citizens concerned about warrantless surveillance!
