Things you can do right now

1. Keep Up Pressure on Section 702 of FISA.

This surveillance Act, which has a lot of loopholes,can result in US citizens being spied on without a warrant. The Act expired last Friday, but is expected to be reintroduced. Tell your Members of Congress to make sure strong guidelines are in place.

2. Oppose Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence.

"Not as bad as the last nominee" is not a good reason to put an unqualified person in this important position. Contact your Senators.

3. Demand ICE Detention Center Reforms.
