Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people in the United States whose messages or personal data could appear in government searches. It also affects FBI agents, intelligence agencies, law enforcement agencies, data brokers, online service providers, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and members of Congress who oversee surveillance programs.
Why this matters: The bill matters because it changes how the government can use a powerful spy tool when information about people in the United States gets caught up in it. It would keep that tool available for national security work. At the same time, it would add more checks before agencies search, use, buy, or keep sensitive personal data.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.

This page gives you an opportunity to support, oppose, or ask for changes to SAFE Act, then contact the elected officials who can act. Modern Action drafts the message from your position and the reasons you select.
