Protect Abortion Seekers, Stop Reverse Demands

Pass AB 793

Privacy threats should never stand in the way of our ability make choices about our bodies. But since the repeal of Roe, we have seen anti-abortion states use digital data to prosecute people for having abortions or helping others obtain reproductive and gender-affirming care.

In California, police can circumvent privacy protections around sensitive data by seeking "reverse demands." A reverse demand seeks the identity of all the people who were present at a particular location or who searched for a particular keyword. These demands, already used to target protestors, can be used to conduct broad expeditions for those who are seeking needed healthcare.

The only way to ensure California is a refuge for people seeking or providing abortions or gender-affirming care is to take these reverse demands off the table.

Take action now to protect reproductive rights and healthcare for all. Urge your California lawmakers to support Assembly Bill 793.

Subject

I am writing to urge you to pass AB 793 by Assemblymember Mia Bonta. In the face of a growing slate of anti-abortion and anti-trans laws in states across the country, we say no to invasive surveillance that would target people for having an abortion or seeking reproductive and gender-affirming care here in California.

Message Body

We need to shore up our defenses now in order to truly protect access to reproductive rights and healthcare for all.

The only way to ensure California is a refuge for people seeking or providing abortions or gender-affirming care is to take these types of dragnet surveillance demands off the table. AB 793 will protect our digital privacy and protecting Californians’ right to live life on our own terms.

Please vote “AYE” on AB 793.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
