 Dear IDL members--

Recent leaks show that the U.S. Government and the NSA have turned the
Internet into the most massive surveillance tool in history, constantly
monitoring and invading the privacy of people all over the world.

This July 4, as the U.S. celebrates its independence, we’re organizing a
huge online protest for privacy-- in support of actions on the ground in
cities around the country.

Click here to join thousands of websites that will protest on July 4th to
demand an end to NSA
spying.<http://nt.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=jYZ9L09BjR8DeLwkwy13dvp%2B3pj%2Focsf>

We just started outreach and we’ve already got EFF, Wordpress, 4chan,
Reddit, Namecheap, Imgur, Mozilla, Fark, TOR, BoingBoing, and Cheezburger
signed up to participate. This will be our largest IDL protest since SOPA.
We need you too!

<http://nt.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=wnPyjKv8XUkDeLwkwy13dvp%2B3pj%2Focsf>Millions
have already taken action, but it’s going to take more than just petition
signatures to stop the NSA from spying on the world’s Internet users. The
U.S. government wants to forget its own Constitution. We’re going to make
that completely impossible.

Grassroots Internet users have organized Restore the
Fourth<http://nt.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=pmDMWEwZBUUDeLwkwy13dvp%2B3pj%2Focsf>protests
on the ground all over the U.S. on the 4th of July. Building off
the energy of the
StopWatching.us<http://nt.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=wCpZYqhWQTIDeLwkwy13dvp%2B3pj%2Focsf>coalition
(which now has over 500,000 signers), and aiming to amplify the
protests on the ground, we’re raising the Internet Defense League’s “Cat
Signal” on July 4th, asking websites and organizations to show call out the
NSA by displaying the text of the 4th Amendment.

If you already have the IDL’s “all
campaigns<http://nt.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1cAAyBmryTQGxo6Bera3zbyFHj8lUzME>”
code installed, you’re all set. The Cat Signal will be raised at midnight
on July 4th and will turn off at midnight on July 5th. We’ll send out
campaign specific code on Tuesday, for those who just want to participate
in this action, but what we need you to do right now is help spread the
word. We need to ramp this up and get everyone on board. If you have
Twitter or Facebook, click the link below, if not, please blog, share, call
your friends and tell them. This is going to be epic, so get everyone.

We need you on this one. Click here to join our Thunderclap and help make
this protest HUGE.<http://nt.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PnSp0DcLQToDeLwkwy13dvp%2B3pj%2Focsf>

This is a watershed moment for our basic rights to free speech, freedom of
association, and privacy. What the NSA is doing is
illegal<http://nt.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Do0Yk26561oDeLwkwy13dvp%2B3pj%2Focsf>,
even as we wrote this email, we learned more details about the real-time
eavesdropping abilities of
PRISM<http://nt.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=s7Y3SkRN1FYDeLwkwy13dvp%2B3pj%2Focsf>.
 We are at the moment where we decide if the government should have the
power to track, target, profile, and deem suspicious any one of us based on
our small everyday movements. The first in line are probably the
journalists we depend on, any of our friends or family who are even
slightly political. This is why privacy matters -- it does not allow the
government to unreasonably persecute anyone.

There’s many ways to fight the NSA. Click here to see all the ways that you
can participate on July 4th, online and in the
streets.<http://nt.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=OZEMn%2BU64QsDeLwkwy13dvp%2B3pj%2Focsf>

Given who we already have participating, this could be our biggest IDL
action yet. Will you join? We’re counting on you.

Sincerely,
Holmes and Tiffiniy
Internet Defense League
