Today, the American Library Association joins organizations and companies across the country by participating in The Day We Fight Back Against Mass Surveillance.
At the 2014 Midwinter Conference in Philadelphia, PA, the ALA council passed a resolution supporting the USA FREEDOM Act (S.1599/H.R.3361) in Congress. The FREEDOM Act is a bicameral, bipartisan bill that seeks to end the bulk collection of telephone and internet metadata.
You can take part in this day of action by calling and/or emailing your legislators in support of the USA FREEDOM Act. If you visit the District Dispatch, you'll be prompted with a banner that allows you to email and/or call your elected officials along with talking points. You can also use ALA's Legislative Action Center for contact information and talking points.
For more information on this day of action and ways to participate, visit The Day We Fight Back homepage.
