Help us end mass surveillance!

Since 2019, S.T.O.P has fought against the ever-growing surveillance state and to protect civil rights, but our work is only possible with your contributions.

Every bill we write, every workshop we hold, and every lawsuit we file against the NYPD are only possible with support from donors like you.

Whether it’s donating $400 to cover the cost of filing a new civil rights suit, donating $4,000 to cover the cost of a research report, or even just $4, your tax-deductible generosity will not just amplify our work, it will help defend the very fabric of our democracy.

Give today and help defend our democracy
