This is a reminder to be at the State House this Thursday, November 16 to give Verizon and the Department of Telecommunications and Energy (DTE) a much-needed Wake Up Call about phone companies handing over your telephone records to the National Security Agency (NSA).

Schedule for the day:
11:15: Press Conference
We’ll kick off the morning with a press conference inside the State House in Nurses’ Hall, featuring privacy expert and NSA watchdog Jim Bamford, Mayors Cohen (Newton), Higgins (Northampton), and Bissonnette (Chicopee), and ACLU of Massachusetts Executive Director Carol Rose.
12:00: Cell Phone Action
After the press conference, we’ll convene in front of the front steps of the State House for a mass cell phone action, demanding that the DTE hold a public hearing to let us know if the phone companies violated their own privacy policies, and to urge them to make sure that your privacy is protected in the future.
