Tell the CPUC: We don't need more driverless cars causing trouble on our streets
The CPUC is on the verge of allowing Cruise and Waymo to roll out thousands more driverless cars across the City, exacerbating existing problems of driverless cars wandering into emergency scenes and forcing responders to babysit them.

Tell our Members of Congress: Protect free speech online—Stop KOSA
We’ve enjoyed decades of online life with strong protections for freedom of speech. It’s a complicated subject of rights and responsibilities, just as life—online and off—is complicated. But while the current state of things is not perfect and there may still be room for improvement, it’s a pretty good balance on the whole.
A bill introduced in the previous Congress and reintroduced in this year threatens to upset that balance. As is so often the case, the proposal is ostensibly “for the children;” the new bill is called the Kids Online Safety Act. It would force messaging services like iMessage, Signal, and WhatsApp, along with social media services like Twitter, Facebook, and Mastodon, to gatekeep who can participate in online life and to monitor what we say.
This is a dangerous, poorly-thought-out bill with a dangerously high number of bipartisan cosponsors in the Senate. We must stop this bill from becoming law.
