Several groups will hold what they call “The Day We Fight Back” on Tuesday protesting government surveillance, they said. The groups include the American Civil Liberties Union, Demand Progress, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Free Press, Mozilla and Tumblr, amounting to more than 4,000 groups, according to organizers. “Participating sites will be encouraging users to engage in the day of action, through website banners and other means,” organizers said in a press release (http://bit.ly/1iYb0ch). “That participation will include tens of thousands of calls and emails to Members of Congress, tweets and Facebook posts, memes and social avatars, and other viral activity.” The groups support the USA Freedom Act, which would end bulk collection of metadata, and oppose the FISA Improvements Act, a bill that cleared the Senate Intelligence Committee last fall.
