A critical vote is approaching in Congress, with the potential to significantly impact the privacy of US citizens. On April 20th, lawmakers will decide whether to extend the FISA Act, a law that permits the government to collect emails, texts, and calls from corporations. The recent partnership with Open AI has made mass surveillance even more accessible, raising concerns about the erosion of civil liberties.

The extension of the FISA Act could have far-reaching consequences, compromising the right to protest and freedom of the press. It is essential for citizens to make their voices heard and express their opposition to this legislation. By calling or emailing representatives, participating in protests, and speaking out, individuals can help protect their privacy and maintain the integrity of democratic institutions.
