Today in a landmark decision, a federal appeals court unanimously ruled that the NSA’s mass phone records program is unlawful. *Share this image on Facebook and let everyone know about this victory against government surveillance.* <https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/ecjbaLYVeQAP2vFFBiXHyaCLRwH-IOpaaaaaBKUXDQja?l=-@yEuDx&n=j3euZpY2irjrep_XvRrc.lfv&c=l&o=> *(Note: Clicking this link will open a Facebook page).* <https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/ecjbaLYVeQAP2vFFBiXHyaCLRwH-IOpaaaaaBKUXDQja?l=-@yEuDx&n=j3euZpY2irjrep_XvRrc.lfv&c=m&o=> We filed this lawsuit days after Edward Snowden’s first revelations two years ago, challenging the constitutionality of the NSA’s mass collection of Americans’ phone records. This is the first appeals court ruling on the program. The impact of this ruling will extend far beyond the mass phone records program and call into question the legality of many other government mass surveillance programs – and truly demonstrate the need for systemic reform. Please take a minute to share the news. *Post on Facebook* <https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/ecjbaLYVeQAP2vFFBiXHyaCLRwH-IOpaaaaaBKUXDQja?l=-@yEuDx&n=j3euZpY2irjrep_XvRrc.lfv&c=n&o=> or *Tweet* <https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/ecjbaLYVeQAP2vFFBiXHyaCLRwH-IOpaaaaaBKUXDQja?l=-@yEuDx&n=j3euZpY2irjrep_XvRrc.lfv&c=s&o=> to celebrate this incredible win.
