Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Privacy Activism seeks to educate the public about privacy rights and to enable people to make well-informed decisions about privacy on a personal and societal level. We endeavor to reach a broad audience by explaining complex privacy issues visually, rather than exclusively verbally, as much as possible, in order to show the importance of privacy as a fundamental human right.
Program Services

| PA maintains a web site with educational information about personal privacy issues and links to supplemental consumer privacy information. PA actively networks on personal privacy issues via Twitter and often helps with the development of and signs onto briefs and letters concerning various legislation affecting privacy that are circulated by other nonprofit organizations working in the privacy and civil liberties space. PA worked closely with a number of other civil liberties organizations to create the website TSAcomments.net in June 2013. The purpose of the site was to have a single source of information for people who wished to comment on new TSA regulations on Advanced Imaging Technology, i.e., nude body scanners at airports. TSAcomments.net also supported writing and submitting comments directly from the site. | $477 | - |
