Take action to keep DOGE out of our data

Our friends at the ACLU have created an easy and worthwhile action to fight back against the DOGE takeover of our personal data. Take action here and/or read on for further details.


Per the ACLU:

The Trump administration's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been given unrestricted access to our personal data, a massive invasion of privacy that puts our Social Security numbers, health records, and financial information at risk of data breaches, mass surveillance, and more.

 
 

DOGE is composed of unvetted outsiders who have forced their way into the government's most protected systems without care for the safeguards created by Congress to keep our data safe. They are also reportedly using shadowy AI tools to decide what critical public services and programs to cut.

This is a privacy disaster that impacts every one of us – and leaves us vulnerable to data breaches, mass surveillance, politically motivated attacks, and worse.

The people of this country deserve to know what's happening behind closed doors – yet DOGE has refused to answer questions from the press, members of Congress, and the public, all while claiming DOGE employees are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

That is why the ACLU has already filed FOIA requests with more than 40 federal agencies to get a better understanding of how our private and personal financial and medical records are being illegally accessed and analyzed by the Trump administration.

But Congress has to do its job and hold the president accountable when he or his administration violate our civil rights and civil liberties. Join us: Tell your representatives to do their job.

Thanks for taking action and reminding our leaders that they work for us.

Thank you for your continuing actions to protect our democracy and the American people.
