Fight Surveillance. Protect Your Community's Rights.
Surveillance expands fastest when it faces the least resistance. Be the one who fights back.
When you give to S.T.O.P., you put civil rights lawyers in the courtroom to challenge unchecked government surveillance. You bring know-your-rights trainings directly to the communities being targeted. And you fund the research that sounds the alarm before new surveillance tools become permanent infrastructure.
No matter the amount, your tax-deductible gift is a direct investment in your community's civil rights — and a stand against mass surveillance.
