Claw Back Your Privacy

Hi Digital Rights Supporter,


The NSA official-turned-whistleblower Bill Binney called it turnkey totalitarianism. Whoever sits in power gains access to a boundless surveillance empire that scorns privacy and crushes dissent. Politicians will come and go, but you can help us claw the tools of oppression out of government hands.

Become a Monthly Sustaining Donor


We must stand strong to uphold democratic principles. With members around the world, EFF is empowered to use its trusted voice and formidable expertise to protect your privacy and free expression. Whether you give a monthly or one-time donation, members have helped EFF:

  • Sue to stop warrantless searches of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) records, which reveal millions of drivers’ private habits, movements, and associations.
  • Launch Rayhunter, an open source tool that empowers you to help search out cell-site simulators capable of tracking the movements of protestors, journalists, and more.
  • Help journalists see through the spin of "copaganda" by breaking down how policing technology companies often market their tools with misleading claims with our "Selling Safety" report.

End Mass Surveillance

Right now, U.S. Congress is on the edge of renewing the international mass spying program known as Section 702, affecting millions. EFF is rallying to cut through the politics and give ordinary people a chance to stop this oppressive surveillance. It’s only possible with help from supporters like you.

Privacy is a human right because it gives you a fundamental measure of security and freedom. We owe it to ourselves to fight the mass surveillance used to control and intimidate people. Let’s do this.

Get this year’s new member t-shirt when you join EFF. This fierce feline swats at the street-level surveillance equipment multiplying in our communities. You might empathize with him, but there’s a better way. Let’s end the law enforcement contracts, harmful practices, and twisted logic that enable mass spying in the first place.

You can also get brand new puffy stickers as a token of thanks. Our little Ghostie protects privacy in six languages.

And for a limited time, get a Privacy Badger Crewneck sweatshirt. Millions of people use EFF's free Privacy Badger tool to block cookies and scripts that track your web browsing. The embroidered Privacy Badger mascot appears above characters that say "privacy” because human rights are universal.

As we kick off EFF’s spring membership drive, I hope you’ll join us today and help claw back your privacy.


For your freedom online, 


Aaron Jue
