Hi John,

BREAKING: Senator Schumer is making passage of the National Defense Authorization Act a top priority through the end of the year—a classic year-end opportunity to sneak through other “non-controversial bills.”¹ But we’re hearing that this could include a reauthorization of the massive domestic surveillance program that was first exposed by Snowden.² This is a five alarm fire moment. We have to make this reauthorization as controversial as possible to ensure it doesn’t make it into the “must pass” defense spending bill. We’re ready to activate opposition to this dangerous reauthorization right now, including flooding the offices of Senator Schumer and Senator Jeffries with calls, but we’ll have to put a lot of our end of year fundraising on hold to make it happen.

This is why ongoing support from individuals like you is so crucial to an organization like Fight for the Future. Your support allows us to act when these kinds of emergency situations come up—and where time is really of the essence. If you want to make sure we always have the resources we need for critical and timely fights like these, become a monthly donor right now and fund Fight for the Future all year round.

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, which was created as a day for people to support organizations and issues they care about—and it’s a really critical day for nonprofits like Fight for the Future to raise money and support all the work we do.

Donate Now

Unfortunately, we’ll have to divert a lot of our attention away from Giving Tuesday to fight the reauthorization of this dangerous program. You can help ensure we have the resources needed to fight for our privacy in the next few days and throughout the year by making your year-end donation to Fight now.

Thanks for your activism,

The Team at Fight ❤️
