For years, the infrastructure for a surveillance state has been quietly expanding in the United States.

• Online advertising systems logging your every click.
• Phone apps constantly tracking your location.
• Cameras watching you on every corner.

And now, those systems built by Big Tech are being co-opted and abused by our government.

• Location tracking to target our communities for ICE raids.
• Social media monitoring to suppress speech.
• A surveillance apparatus to stifle dissent and target protestors.

Systems built to target ads and fuel tech profits have become systems of government control, and they are threatening the foundations of our democracy.

This moment calls for us all to join together in opposition. For more than 30 years, EPIC has been the independent watchdog with the legal, technical, and policy expertise needed to fight back against unchecked surveillance. But we rely on people like you – people who believe in democracy, civil liberties, and the right to privacy – to help us win this fight. We need your support now more than ever.

Your donation will support our work developing new litigation strategies to hold surveillance companies accountable, lobbying to limit the government’s use of data brokers, pushing for federal legislation to limit law enforcement’s use of facial recognition, creating a detailed database of ICE’s surveillance machine, and much more.

We hope that you will join EPIC’s Stop the Surveillance State Campaign and help us reach our goal of raising $1,000,000 by June 2026.
