We do, however, encourage Congress to examine how it can further strengthen PLEWSA.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, House and Senate Intelligence Committees are also considering proposals of their own, proposals that would entrench the surveillance status quo.<\/p>\n<p>Those wishing to get involved can <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/126lljPxCTu3qiyFGlVziYh_w4J7cdhB7LOQKKNN9J7s\/edit\">add their names<\/a> to our letter and do their part to engage Congress on this important issue.<\/p>\n<p>You can find the letter <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/netpolicy\/files\/2023\/12\/FISA-Reauthorization-Letter-12.8.pdf\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today Mozilla, along with a group of builders and supporters of innovation, sent a letter calling on the US House of Representatives to pass strong surveillance reform proposals such as &hellip;
