Demand Progress
@demandprogress
Grassroots, nonpartisan organization with nearly one million affiliated activists fighting for the rights and freedoms needed for a modern democracy.
- Today we mark the 10th anniversary of the tragic passing of our cofounder Aaron Swartz, a tremendous activist and technologist who fought for economic justice and for speech and human rights.
- Four years ago today we lost Aaron. His philosophy has never been more important than it is today.
- NEW: The FBI has been breaking their own rules & unlawfully fishing through untold millions of communications that were warrantlessly swept up under Section 702. Congress must take on the out-of-control surveillance state this year, before it is too late.
- In a shameful giveaway to Big Cable, the @FCC has voted to overturn #NetNeutrality. But we are not done. Now we take our fight to Congress and the Courts. Join us at battleforthenet.com/?org=dp
- Senator, this poll did exactly that and found it performs worse than populism alone.It’s a weird juxtaposition because why not craft a message where we aggressively reduce concentrated corporate power AND we fix bottlenecks and build more stuff?
- Replying to @demandprogress80% of Americans think the government should "obtain warrants before purchasing location information, internet records, and other sensitive data about people in the U.S. from data brokers." (Q8)
- Eight years ago today we lost our co-founder @aaronsw. Join us as we remember his life, his work, and reflect on his legacy.
- Please take a minute to call @RepAdamSmith (House Armed Services Committee chair) and tell him to support HIS OWN amendment to end American involvement in the war in Yemen. (202) 225-8901 @HASCDemocrats
- RIP, to our great co-founder and friend, Aaron Swartz. With each passing year, our hope remains that Aaron would be proud of the work he helped spur at Demand Progress, as we continue the fight for civil liberties, democracy, economic justice, and broader social justice.Unbelievable—7 years today. RIP my darling boy.
- Today and every day, we remember Aaron. Five years later, his words ring true more than ever and his legacy continues to inspire millions.
- 8 years ago, our friend & co-founder Aaron Swartz took his life while being threatened with decades in prison under an overly broad interpretation of the CFAA. Today, a small sliver of justice has been delivered by the Supreme Court's ruling to restrict the scope of the CFAA.
- The IRS just officially launched its historic new service #DirectFile. Taxpayers in 12 states will now have the option to file their taxes directly with the IRS for free, saving an average of $150 a year. Go file for free at directfile.irs.gov
