Restore The Fourth came together in 2013 to oppose the Obama administration's mass surveillance programs. Despite some successes, the cancer of mass surveillance is still spreading. ICE is using data surveillance to hound and round up thousands. DOJ is putting pressure on WhatsApp to allow law enforcement to monitor whatever we text. DHS fusion centers are monitoring nonviolent activists trying to save the Earth. And the FBI has made it its top law enforcement priority to deal with the "threat" of black people peacefully protesting police brutality.
Things are pretty messed up. If we allow the government to spy on everything we say, do, or even think, then peaceful redress of grievances becomes impossible. Our future as a thriving and free society depends on Restoring the Fourth.

We're not asking for money right now. We're asking for your time to help Restore The Fourth in your state, by spreading surveillance oversight ordinances and pushing back on police and NSA abuses. Please join a local chapter, or help to found one if there isn't yet one near you!
Also, after our success last month in the Pellegrino case, where our amicus brief helped to establish that TSA agents can be sued for abuse, we'd especially like to know if there are any cases currently underway in your neighborhood where the police have asserted "qualified immunity" to escape accountability for violating Fourth Amendment rights.
