Thousands of people marched in Washington, D.C., on Saturday in a protest against government surveillance. “Stop Watching Us: Rally Against Mass Surveillance” was organized by a coalition of more than 100 groups, companies and public figures. Organizers say the protest was the largest to date against government surveillance since Edward Snowden’s disclosures became public in June.
Michael Greene: “I’m outraged, like most people here, at the mass surveillance that’s going on, and people just don’t seem to be upset about it. It’s blatantly unconstitutional.”
Jennifer Wynne: “Over the past several months, we the people have learned so much about the abuses going on and the complete lack of oversight and the mass surveillance into every detail of our lives. And we need to tell Congress that they have to act, and we need to demand it.”
