There are lots of ways you can get involved in the fight to protect your privacy and digital rights in the 21st century.

State legislation

If you live in Massachusetts, join the ACLU of Massachusetts volunteer team to learn how to connect with state leaders and join our campaigns. If you live in another state, contact your local ACLU affiliate to find out what privacy legislation sits before your state government.

Local organizing

Since 9/11, the federal government has showered state and local law enforcement with billions of dollars to buy powerful surveillance devices, ranging from cameras to license plate readers to cell phone spying equipment. You can take meaningful action against unwarranted surveillance and for freedom at the local level by making sure your town or city government is fulfilling its oversight and accountability roles pursuant to these surveillance acquisitions.

Pass the Community Control Over Police Surveillance (CCOPS) ordinance in your city or town government. Learn more.
