#Restorethe4th: Anti-NSA protest
RT,
4
July, 2013
An
anti-NSA surveillance nationwide protest and online campaign is
launching on Thursday. It aims to restore the Fourth Amendment of the
Bill of Rights, which protects US citizens from "unreasonable
searches and seizures."
The
‘Restore
the Fourth’
campaign was born on Reddit last month and is being supported by
Mozilla, the Freedom of the Press Foundation, and other US and
international press freedom organizations.
"The
purpose of the rallies is to spread awareness of and spur political
action against unconstitutional spying by the U.S. government,"
the campaign stated on its official website.
There
will also be live protests in dozens of US major cities, which are
expected to draw up to 20,000 people in the nation’s larger cities.
Press freedom advocates say the protests are crucial because the mainstream media is not adequately covering the NSA leaks and their importance to everyday citizens. Demonstrations are also planned in Canada and the UK.
