Last week we opened limited tickets to our big campaigning event to ORG paying supporters only. We’ve now released the remaining limited free tickets to the general public so please register now before they are all gone.
What is it?
Stop the Snoopers' Charter is a series of talks and workshops to explain the Communications Data Bill. The Bill has been debated in the select committee over the last few months with civil liberties groups, internet service providers and spooks giving evidence. The media has taken various sides to the story and the Government is claiming that mass surveillance is necessary to capture terrorists and paedophiles.
This is a great opportunity to learn the specifics in the draft and make your own mind up about the bill that everyone is talking about. It’s also a chance to introduce your friends to the work of ORG and learn the practical implications of the CDB.
Communications Data Bill training events.
We’re not just campaigning against the Communications Data Bill in
London, we are also running Communications Data Bill training events
across the country, coming to a location near you:
Tickets are free to all events, but please book in advance to make sure you have a space and we know the numbers.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Ruth Coustick
