An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop DOGE’s invasion of privacy

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

As a deeply concerned and actively engaged constituent, as well as a longtime member of the American Civil Liberties Union, I ask that you do all you can to stop DOGE’s invasion of our privacy. The Trump administration’s plan to catalogue the data of everyone in America will supercharge the government's ability to spy on us – unless we act now to stop this assault on our right to privacy and free speech. In March, under the guise of “combating fraud and waste,” President Trump DOGE to help federal agencies consolidate the information they have about each of us – including our Social Security numbers, health records, and political donations – and make it available across the federal government. Despite the huge concerns, DOGE and other federal agencies have already started this data consolidation – sometimes using untested AI systems. This is a massive and potentially illegal invasion of our privacy – and could wrongly flag people for investigation, delay or deny benefits, and waste taxpayer resources. Creating a single federal database with everything that the government knows about every single person in this country is an Orwellian nightmare. We're seeking transparency about the government's use of DOGE and other unvetted outsiders to illegally access our data in court, but Congress has a job to do too. Congress must speak up now and protect us all from this privacy-destroying disaster.
