John,

A wave of destructive internet bills has been bubbling up all year. We’ve been steadily building the opposition to these censorship and surveillance laws, but now the clock is running out. Today, join our Week of Action to kill these bad internet bills before summer’s out.

Take Action

They come under different names: EARN IT, KOSA, STOP CSAM, and more. But all of them have fatal problems that would expand censorship and surveillance online. They’d clear the way for lawmakers to wipe the internet of anything they don’t like. And some of them would make it impossible to offer encrypted services that keep millions of people safe.

Us and tons of other human rights groups agree that these bills risk enormous harm to people, both on- and offline.[1] So we’re blasting everyone in Congress with opposition this week, July 20–July 28. It’s super easy for you to link in!

Can you:

✅ Send an automatic email to your representatives?

✅ Share our graphics on your socials to get the word out?

✅ Call Congress and demand they fight online censorship?

✅ Send us your anti-Bad Internet Bill content for us to feature?

Thanks. You’re what’s going to make this swarm moment possible! Have any other ideas? Reply to this email to get in touch.

Together,

Sarah Philips at ❤️Fight

P.S. We're launching a Substack that'll go more in depth into the things we think about and organize around at Fight. It's got an online/offline focus, and (fittingly) it's named Touch Grass. Sign up here!
