Stop CISA: Join EFF in a Week of Action Opposing Broad "Cybersecurity" Surveillance Legislation



How do you kill a zombie bill like CISA?
Grassroots action. That's why EFF and over a dozen other groups are
asking you to join us in a Week of Action to Stop CISA.  The Senate is
likely to vote on the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) in
the coming weeks, and only you can help us stop it.




We keep hearing that CISA and the other "cybersecurity" bills moving
through Congress are “must-pass” legislation. But just like the original
version of CISA, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), we think grassroots activism can stop this legislation in its tracks.




CISA is fundamentally flawed
because of its broad immunity clauses for companies, vague definitions,
and aggressive spying powers. Combined, they make the bill a
surveillance bill in disguise. The bill may even make things worse for
Internet users in several ways. That’s why we’re launching a week of
action to make sure Congress is getting the message loud and clear:
 CISA must not pass.
