"Federal employees play a key role in safeguarding the civil liberties of millions of Americans. Our rights to privacy and free expression can only survive when we stand together to push back against overreach and ensure that technology serves all people-not just the powerful. That's why EFF jumped to action earlier this year, when the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) handed over sensitive employee data-Social Security numbers, benefits data, work histories, and more-to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)."
"When you donate directly, you join a movement of lawyers, activists, and technologists who defend privacy, call out censorship, and push back against abuses of power-everywhere from the courts to Congress and to the streets. As a member, you'll also receive insider updates, invitations to exclusive events, and receive conversation-starting EFF gear. Plus, you can sustain our mission long-term with a monthly or annual donation!"
Federal employees safeguard civil liberties for millions. Rights to privacy and free expression require collective pushback against overreach and equitable technology. EFF acted when OPM handed over sensitive employee records — Social Security numbers, benefits, work histories — to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). That transfer violated the Privacy Act of 1974 and endangered federal workers. The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) faces uncertainty, potentially undermining a key giving program used by federal employees and retirees. Donating directly to EFF and becoming a member supports legal, advocacy, and technological work defending privacy and free expression, including sustained monthly contributions.
