Block Trump’s Warrantless Surveillance of America
Friends,
Imagine failing to do your job in Congress and then asking Donald Trump to find a way around the law.
That is where we are.
Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, are urging the Trump administration to prepare for a possible lapse in Section 702 of FISA by identifying intelligence targets, exploring “alternative legal authorities,” and even drafting an executive order to fill the gap.1
Let’s be clear about what that means.
Instead of doing the work of protecting both public safety and constitutional rights, Trump and Republicans are looking for a workaround. Instead of closing dangerous surveillance loopholes, they are asking the executive branch to figure out how to keep the spying machinery running. Instead of respecting the Fourth Amendment, they are preparing to sidestep accountability.
This is how warrantless surveillance grows: quietly, during chaos, while the public is distracted.
While families are worried about war, rising gas prices, health care costs, housing costs, child care costs, and grocery bills, Trump and Republicans are trying to preserve and expand government power to monitor people without the basic protection of a warrant.
That should alarm every person who values freedom.
Section 702 was created for foreign intelligence gathering, but in practice, it has swept up Americans’ private communications too. Once that information is collected, government agencies can search through it without first getting a warrant. That is the backdoor search loophole.
And it gets worse.
The data broker loophole allows the government to buy sensitive personal information instead of going to a judge. That can include location data, browsing information, app data, and other private details that reveal where we go, what we read, who we contact, and how we live.
Now add artificial intelligence to that surveillance system.
AI can help the government sort, analyze, and weaponize massive amounts of personal data faster than ever before. That means warrantless surveillance can become broader, deeper, and more dangerous. It opens the door to racial profiling, political targeting, surveillance of protesters, monitoring of immigrants, intimidation of journalists, and abuse against communities already targeted by those in power.
This is not public safety.
This is not freedom.
This is not democracy.
This is warrantless surveillance of America.
No president should have unchecked power to spy on the people. Not Trump. Not any president.
If Trump and Republicans want to keep Section 702 alive, then Congress must reform it. No blank checks. No executive-order end runs. No secret workarounds. No spying on Americans without a warrant.
The public does not want Section 702 extended as-is. Only 12 percent of Americans support renewing it without reforms.2 Huge majorities want Congress to close the backdoor search loophole and the data broker loophole.
People Power United believes freedom over fascism means rejecting warrantless government surveillance of our communities.
Progress over fear means protecting civil liberties and real public safety.
Power to the people means the Constitution must still apply in the digital age.
Congress must reform Section 702 by closing the data broker loophole, ending backdoor searches, and requiring a warrant before the government accesses Americans’ sensitive personal information.
Here is what we need you to do right now:
Then call your member of Congress at (202) 224-3121 and tell them:
Reform Section 702. Close the data broker loophole. End backdoor searches. Require a warrant before the government accesses Americans’ sensitive personal information.
Our privacy is not a loophole.
Our communities are not targets.
Our Constitution is not optional.

Why the Grassroots Resistance Can’t Wait
People Power United members believe change is possible because we have seen ordinary people rise, organize, and be a force for progress. Real change does not come from waiting politely, staying quiet, or hoping those in power suddenly grow a conscience. It comes when people speak out, show up, and demand action—because our communities and families cannot wait, and every moment we delay gives injustice more room to tighten its grip on our communities.
Together, we can defend our rights, freedoms, the rule of law, and democracy, hold leaders accountable to the people’s will, and inspire voters to make a meaningful difference.
People Power United is independent, people-powered news and grassroot movement actions dedicated to defending our rights, freedoms, the rule of law, and democracy. This is our moment to rise, resist, and reclaim our democracy. Millions of Americans and people who call America home are already rising up in the streets, at the ballot box, and in their communities.
People Power United champions freedom over fascism, progress over fear, and power to the people. We believe change is possible, and we do the work to make it happen. Join us to build people power.
