• Contact your Senators and tell them to say NO to bad interenet bills that surveil and censor the net. badinternetbills.com, from Fight for the Future, makes it easy to contact Congress; EFF, ACLU, and 5Calls also have good action pages. Or you can just contact your legislators offices directly via the US Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3124, calling their offices directly, or using their web contact form. It doesn't have to be fancy, just make sure it includes a specific ask like "Please vote NO on KOSA, the KIDS Act, and other bad internet bills that would censor and surveill the net" -- although if you want go into more detail on why these bills are harmful to you and their other constituents, that's even better.
• Share badinternetbills.com and other actions as well as news and analysis about bad internet bills on social media - and if you see others sharing stuff about bad internet bills, like it and reshare it so that more people see it.
• Tag your Senators and Representative on social media and tell them to vote NO on KOSA, the KIDS Act, the SCREEN Act, the App Store Accountability Act, and other bad internet bills. You can find their accounts by searching for their name, or check their official web sites for a link to their accounts. And if you see other people tagging their legislators, like their posts to let them know you agree.
• Ask for a meeting with a legislator or staffer -- or approach other people and/organizations in your area to see if they want to set up a joint meeting (which often makes it more likely they'll meet with you).

If you're in California

Stop California’s Social Media Ban (A.B. 1709), from EFF, makes it easy to tell state lesislators to say NO to a bad internet bill that would ban everyone under 16 from social media. This over-reaching censorship scheme threatens your data privacy, ignores the First Amendment, and wastes taxpayer money during a massive budget deficit. And, by overriding the judgment of parents, the California Legislature is trying to take parenting away from families and replace it with an overbroad ban and a costly (and shady) new government commission.

If you're in Massachusetts

Last week, the Senate passed a version of the social media bill which incorporated many of the suggestions from civil liberties, digital rights, and privacy organzations -- but has some major problems. Stop Online ID Checks in Massachusetts, from Fight for the Future, lets you contact your state legislators to urge improvements as the bill heads to cross-chanmber negotiations.
