Mass vigil at sunset against mass surveillance

WHAT: Mass vigil at sunset against mass surveillance – happening in 50 cities across the U.S

BRING: A cell phone, laptop, tablet, and candles with the protestsign.org already pre-loaded. Make a big sunset sign and write “Sunset the Patriot Act”.

WHY WE NEED YOU:
This is the week when we have a chance to sunset the PATRIOT Act!

The PATRIOT Act could end this week if Congress fails to reauthorize it by this Friday ahead of its June 1st expiration. So, on Thursday May 21st, people are organizing a mass vigil in 50 cities across the U.S. to demand their Senators let the Patriot Act expire.

And we’ve set it up so its super easy to get involved:

Gather as the sun is setting
Load protestsign.org on your phone, tablet or laptop
Take a picture of your group with signs outside of Senator Dianne Feinstein’s office.

Post your pictures to the Sunset Vigil Facebook page and on Twitter with the hash tags #sunsetpatriotact #sunsetvigil and your @SenFeinstein.

You can also sign the online letter at http://sunsetthepatriotact.com/

This protest is being organized by your friends at Demand Progress, Restore the Fourth, Credo, MoveOn.org, Free Press, and Fight for the Future.
