<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#555555">On Tuesday, February 11th, library supporters are asked to mount a major action to urge Congress to pass major reforms to our surveillance laws. As part of<span> </span><a href="https://thedaywefightback.org/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:inherit;color:#0066cc;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">The
Day We Fight Back</span></a>, thousands of websites will host banners urging people to call Congress to stop mass surveillance.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#555555">Tuesday ALA will send out a blast email to ALA members with instructions and a basic message to help you contact your senators and representatives. Please push other friends and colleagues to do the
same. We want to flood the Congressional switchboards.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#555555">ALA is making this effort because of the library community’s long standing commitment to privacy, starting with the protection of patron library records. Grassroots support from ALA has meant a lot
to the reform attempts since passage of the USA PATRIOT Act in 2001. Now with public knowledge about the extensive surveillance of telephone records and other revelations, there is an opportunity get some real reforms to the surveillance system. That is why
we need our library voices to express the need for ending mass surveillance, bring due process to the FISA court process and rationality to the collection and retention of data about millions of people. This is Day of Action is done in collaboration with EFF,
ACLU, Amnesty International, and more.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
