Indivisible Tri-Cities Do Something – April 15, 2026

We are going to continue one thing a week to call Newhouse about. This week we are going to call and ask him to not support the extension of Section 702 without warrant requirements. See the full description HERE

Section 702 has been repeatedly abused in the past, with the FBI using its loopholes to access the communications of “peaceful protesters, federal and state lawmakers, Congressional staff, thousands of campaign donors, journalists, and a judge reporting civil rights violations by local police.” As over one hundred civil liberties groups expressed in a March 19th letter to Congress, new advancements in technology will only create further opportunities for abuse of this surveillance, such as the use of AI to mine and sell personal data.

TO DO:
Use the script below, information about the :   Script (5calls.org)

Local Office: 509-713-7374
DC Office: 202-225-5816
