John,

Just last month, thousands of you spoke out against a dangerous proposal that would have wiped out every state law regulating artificial intelligence and social media algorithms. Your voices helped stop Congress from burying the ban inside the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act.

Then, the White House tried to slip the same language into an executive order. [1] Both times, you pushed back and forced them to back down.

Today, that fight enters a new phase. President Trump announced he will sign an executive order this week that undermines state authority to protect people from AI-driven harms. [2]

Right now, Big Tech lobbyists are pushing hard to make sure that happens. We need the White House to hear from the other side; to hear from the millions of Americans — like you — who want their states to retain the power to shield them from AI scams, deepfake impersonation, discrimination, and threats to kids’ online safety.

Use our friends at Design It For Us’ tool to call the White House today and tell them to prioritize the safety of Americans over the demands of tech giants.

If the White House sides with Big Tech over families, this order could:

• Undercut more than 1,000 existing state consumer-protection laws guarding against AI fraud, child sexual abuse material, and election deception.
• Tie the hands of state lawmakers working to protect residents from AI-driven price gouging, algorithmic bias, and dangerous recommendation systems.
• Give tech giants a green light to experiment on Americans without meaningful oversight.

Together, our voices can show the White House that we want them to act now to preserve states’ ability to defend you and your family from scams, deepfakes, and other AI harms — and not put Big Tech before the American people.

Public pressure was a huge reason that earlier attempts to gut state protections failed. Let’s do it again.

Thank you for making your voice heard,
The Issue One Action Team
