*Free tickets*
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<http://stopsnooperscharter.eventbrite.com/>before they are all
gone.
*What is it? *
Stop the Snoopers' Charter <http://stopsnooperscharter.eventbrite.com/> 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<http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/Society/article1162048.ece>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*.
