This is huge! Today in a landmark decision, a federal appeals court
unanimously ruled that the NSA’s mass phone records program is unlawful.

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*
